Thanks for letting me own my feelings because up until now I've felt guilty about not just being happy that they are healthy and growing. Of course I am, but it's so bittersweet.Amyhttp://www.amstershiresauce.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-65009340776262080632009-06-25T04:19:34.681-07:002009-06-25T04:19:34.681-07:00Oh, that made my eyes watery.
