A simple image depicting what I want to share.
Submitted by Melissa Amos
My daughter, her husband and newborn baby. My daughter, Jessica, was determined to have her baby before her husband, Matt, would ship out on the cruiser Ronald Reagan. She made it! January 1, 2005 Georgia Porter was born! Her husband, Matt shipped out the next day to the Gulf. It was wonderful and very sad at the same time.

This is a photo of my dog Conner, and my cat Buddy. They hated each other when they first met, and as elderly pets, finally got to a point where they were willing to put their differences aside and be friends.
Buddy passed away last year at the age of 17. We miss him terribly. I think Conner does, too.
