Okay this may be crazy simple, but it is really good, and actually, which this has never happened, stopped my breath. i know that feeling, and for a brief, yet emotional moment, it brought back all of those memories!!!!!!!!! you have talent. I mean, anyone that can portray that much emotioin in such a few words, has something going for them!
