LIFE

Living long and prospering Is what most people hope to do. Fate, however, sometimes brings Early exits; thus with fondest dreams, some folks can’t follow through.

I like the way it came together in the end. Let's hope for a comfortable ending when our time comes, and we should reflect on our lifetime and lifeline. GL:)

Nice…so sad the early exits. We don’t understand…but we trust in the goodness of God.

I know that is true. So many people are dying you at hands of someone shooting them. On the Atlanta news about 1/3 of the people that are killed are just so young and their life gone. Thanks for the sharing the nice work. I appreciate the kind review of my work. Sara K

Atlanta has become so dangerous. Fifteen years ago my husband was a truck driver and his truck got looted while he was sleeping in a truck stop of Atlanta. All our big cities are becoming really dangerous.
