The notion of "not worried about handling.... I can always reprint" will change quickly once you start doing intricate manipulations. Each print can take so much effort and element of luck that you start treasuring your own work. One of my prints took 2 months - printing every weekend to perfect!
I have several methods.
For my own storage, I use Itoya portfolio.
To show someone a print or two, I typically put it in my temporary mat/backboard set. It's hinged and has photo corners that I can slide in the film.
When it has to absolutely look their best, I dry mount, and mat, then put it in clear sleeves. Take them out of the sleeve to show and put it back in once done.
I almost NEVER hand over a naked print unless it's a junk print. I spent so much time printing and processing, keeping in mind being archival and all that, I don't want people casually handling my prints.

BPI, PNB in tie-up talks to become top lender
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Philippine lender Bank of the Philippine Islands said Wednesday it was in talks to acquire local rival Philippine National Bank to create potentially the country's largest financial institution.
Trading in the two firms was suspended Wednesday as they disclosed that BPI's majority shareholders were in negotiations to buy PNB, majority-owned by Lucio Tan, the country's second-richest man.
"We confirm discussions with the Lucio Tan Group and will make the appropriate disclosures in accordance with the (exchange) disclosure rules," BPI said.
PNB shares soared 11.69 percent to P84.10 in Tuesday trade, while BPI ended 3.21 percent higher at P88.45.
BPI is part of the Ayala conglomerate that is the largest property player in Makati, the Philippine capital's main business district.
PNB also disclosed: "We confirm that there have been discussions between the Lucio Tan Group and the Ayala Group. We will make the appropriate disclosures within the day once we obtain the necessary board approvals."
The Philippine Daily Inquirer, quoting unnamed banking sources, said the two sides were in advanced talks.
BPI is now the country's third-largest lender, with assets of P842.6 billion ($20.48 billion) by the end of 2011, while PNB's assets amounted to P316.3 billion.
The largest Philippine bank, Banco de Oro with end-2011 assets of P1.1 trillion, is controlled by the family of shopping mall magnate Henry Sy, the country's richest man.

Ceramic poppies honor U.K. dead from WWI
Posted: August 6, 2014 at 5:26 a.m.
LONDON — A blood-red sea of ceramic poppies is surrounding the Tower of London to commemorate British and Commonwealth soldiers killed in World War I.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined Prince Harry on Tuesday to symbolically "plant" poppies in the dry moat surrounding the Tower to honor the military dead.
The installation, called "Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red," is at the moment made up of 120,000 ceramic poppies, a carpet of crimson.
The red tide will widen in the coming months until there are 888,246 poppies — one for each of the British and Commonwealth soldiers killed in the war, which Britain entered in August 1914.
The poppy has been the traditional symbol of remembrance in Britain since World War I, when a poem from the era recalled the flower melding with the dead in Flanders.
The project is meant to convey an army not as a faceless machine but as individuals, unique and special in their own right.
"I'm literally trying to represent people because a number is a number, but if you see it all like this it is a visual idea of how many people were there," said its creator, Paul Cummins.

Day 11 - Crescent City to Crater Lake National Park
We have been carrying camping gear since we left New Jersey but have not camped once. On this day I made a resolution that I would camp at the Crater Lake National Park come rain or shine. The park is one of the highlights of this trip. I had seen pictures of the park and was thrilled to camp there but was not ready for what was to come, but lets not jump ahead, let me start from the beginning.
The motel had a nice complementary breakfast and we made good use of it, toast and coffee accompanied by muffins and some cereal to top it off, a really healthy breakfast to start the day.
We pack our bags, load them onto the bikes and get rolling in the cool morning. We leave Crescent City and head north east on Route 199 also known as Redwood Highway. Nine miles outside Crescent City we enter Jedediah Smith Redwoods Park and soon thereafter take a detour and cross the Smith River. We stop for the obligatory pictures and marvel at how clear the water is, being able to see the bottom of the river from the bridge. We head up the road on the other side for a while crossing a beautiful wooden covered bridge until we reach the end of the road and the start of a gravel road. We turn around and head back to route 199 and continue north.
A little later, barely 40 miles out of Crescent City we hit the Oregon border. We stop to take a picture of the sign and a fellow ADV rider comes running out of his RV and offers to take a picture of me while my brother is still working on extricating his camera out of the bag. The fellow was traveling with his family and was excited to see fellow ADV riders. I explain to him our route and final destination for the day and he excitedly tells us our beautiful Crater Lake National Park is. I should have gotten his ADV "inmate" name but the fellow was in a rush, the wife and kids waiting in the RV.
Six miles up the road we see an old police car in front of a store, we quickly pull into the O'Brien store for a refreshment. We had now moved quite a few miles inland and the temperature had been rising, it was time to have a cold drink. I walk around the store and end up getting a corn dog, my brother looks amazed at how I could be eating again so soon after our large breakfast, I tell him I can't resist a good corn dog. The store had a US Post Office located in the back of the building, I buy a post card and after writing a little note mail it home to my daughter and wife. We leave soon thereafter.
A little up the road I pass something I hadn't seen since I was a teen, a Volvo PV544 rusting away on someone's property, what a shame. I quickly hit the brakes and make a u-turn to get a picture of the car my dad had when I was a kid. I grew up with a car just like this one except my dad's was red. It was a beaecreatutiful and fast car for it's time with a 1.8 L engine and twin carburetors. Staring at the car brought back good memories. I got back on the road feeling a little sadness, the little Volvo made me realize how life moves on and I am getting older.
The beautiful roads of Oregon quickly bring me back to reality and I get back to enjoying the roads and the scenery. We ride through Rogue River Siskiyou National Forest past Grants Pass where we pick up 234 north to 62 north, also known as Crater Lake Highway. We make good time with very little traffic as the road winds pass Lost Creek Lake and through Joseph Stewart State Recreation Area. The road crosses the lake and starts climbing soon after towards the crater. After a steep climb up the side of the crater we soon arrive at the visitor center.
We dismount and head to the edge of the crater and when we get there I think we spend a few minutes with open mouth, you just can't describe how beautiful the view is, the crater still has remnants of snow, the deep blue color of the water down below and the sky offering another shade of blue above us, truly an amazing and picture perfect place. I spot a squirrel going about his business, looking for food and coming ever closer to us in hope we will throw something, I get a good shot of him.
We walk around the edge of the crater and then move to the visitor center for a good cup of coffee. They have these beautiful trolleys to carry people between the visitor center and the lodge. We decide it's time to look for a camp site, we leave and head down the same way we came up, we had passed a camp site a few miles earlier.
We arrive at the campsite and were immediately attacked by mosquitoes, not a few mosquitoes but thousands of them. While getting our campsite number we were informed by the attendant to get mosquito spray from the store, she tells us the mosquitoes are out in force and very aggressive. We get back on the bikes and ride to the site, after unloading the bikes we take a walk to the campsite store to buy a few necessities. The attendant was right, I had never seen anything this bad, the mosquitoes were so aggressive even attacking us through our mesh jackets. It was so bad in fact that my brother walked around with his gear and helmet on while assembling the tent. I regret not getting a picture but I was busy fending off the mosquitoes and spraying myself with DEET.
We setup the tents and then it's time to cook dinner. My brother had brought with him a prepackaged meal and he offered to share it with me, it was rice with beans and vegetables, a perfect complement to my Henry Weinhard's beer, a local Oregon beer first brewed in 1856 in Portland. I follow my dinner with bite-size DOLE Diced Pears and a candy for dessert. We setup a campfire as the night had cooled dramatically and huddled around it for a while but we were exhausted and soon retired to our comfy sleeping bags. We were finally camping, it was the perfect ending to our first day in Oregon. I had kept my promised, we were camping in the Crater Lake National Park.
We had an easy day again covering a mere 200 miles as we moved inland. The scenery changed dramatically from the coastal wind swept redwoods to a much warmer forest inland, the temperature climbing from the mid 50's to the high 90's. It was a beautiful riding day, it just keeps getting better and better as we move north.

Bentley Police Department Joins Cruiser Convoy and Presents Medals for Special Olympics
Get the latest insights and trends on careers delivered every other week
The Bentley Police Department joined police departments from across the Commonwealth for the annual Massachusetts Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics cruiser convoy.
This year, Bentley University Police Sergeant Donald Perault rode the department motorcycle in the convoy, which converged at the 2012 Special Olympics Massachusetts' Summer Games at Harvard University on June 16.
"Once we arrive at the gate we parade in around the field with just our emergency lights on and the applause and looks on the Olympians is one that stays with you for a long time," Sgt. Perault says. "We parked our units and then are broken up into three groups where we will place the medals around the Olympians necks. It was an honor for me to place medals on four different Olympians."
The cruiser convoy is the largest and most anticipated day event on the Torch Run calendar where hundreds of law enforcement officials arrive at the annual Special Olympics Summer Games. Bentley has participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics for about four years.
"Events like these show the colors of the university," Perault says. "At least three alumni came up to me and thanked me for representing Bentley."

Street Repairs, Charity Hospital Renovations Proposed For 2014
New Orleanians who attended recent public meetings on the 2014 city budget had a lot of complaints, but none came up so frequently as the city's crumbling streets. With constant construction on the city's major commercial arteries, residents of smaller streets wondered when the city planned to get around to them.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu's 2014 capital budget may finally offer some relief. Of the $247 million dedicated to capital projects in the proposal, more than half is slated for minor street repairs.
The capital budget also includes $20 million to start work on renovations to Charity Hospital, which has been shuttered since Hurricane Katrina. Landrieu hopes to turn the one million-square-foot hospital into a civic center complex, housing city offices and the Orleans Parish Civil District Court.
The project is expected to cost $300 million, but Landrieu has not identified funding beyond next year.

The first question called for an opinion about such monuments. My response to that question took on a more personal and subjective character than usual when the other guest, who spoke before me, closed his remarks with an insinuation that no one who affirms the value of the ten commandments could oppose the erection of the monument.
Under the glare of the lights, in the eye of the camera, and in the heat of the moment, I cannot remember exactly what I said. Here's a close approximation that records what I think I said:
With every fiber of my being I am convicted that it (the monument) is profane. It takes a sacred oath and covenant and converts it into a symbol of profanity. To understand that, you have to understand what the Supreme Court has said about the Ten Commandments.
The Supreme Court ruled that the display of the Ten Commandments in Kentucky was unconstitutional because there it had a religious purpose and meaning. The court ruled that the display of the Ten Commandments in Texas was legal because there it had a secular meaning and purpose.
I believe that the Ten Commandments are a sacred oath and covenant between God and his people. The Supreme Court has no authority to interpret the scriptures and pass judgment on its meaning.
And worse, every one of these displays has the name of God chiseled on it saying "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." Violating that command is precisely what the Supreme Court says makes monuments to the Ten Commandments legal. Taking the name of the Lord in vain means taking it lightly -- as though God's name and his person had no ultimate significance and religious meaning. That is why I am convicted that Ten Commandments monuments on public land are taking a sacred oath and covenant and turning it into a symbol of profanity.

We Need More Protest to Make Reform Possible
Reuters Pictures
Why is there so little protest in response to these hard economic times?
One of the rare examples of civil disobedience occurred in late July, when more than 100 people, mobilized by the community organizing group ACORN, gathered outside a foreclosed home in Oakland and attempted to take it back on behalf of its owner. The owner, Tosha Alberty, said she is the victim of a predatory loan. She claims she had tried to work with her lender to modify the loan, but the lender refused. Alberty was at work on July 20 when sheriff's deputies showed up and evicted her family from the house, she said. A few days later, the ACORN group sat on the steps behind the padlocked gate and refused to move. Six of them were arrested for trespassing.
The protest was part of ACORN's nationwide Home Defenders campaign to challenge foreclosures and evictions by lenders and to push Congress to strengthen anti-foreclosure legislation so that banks will be required to renegotiate mortgages. (The Obama administration's program is voluntary.) The Oakland protest, however, received no attention in any major media outlet. A protest without reporters and TV cameras is like the proverbial tree falling in the forest that nobody hears. When the media cover rallies and protests, it gives people a sense that they are not alone, that others share their fears and hopes. It makes them more likely to get involved in efforts to bring about change.
In recent years, right-wingers have been more willing to protest, whether their allies were in or out of power. With Obama in the White House and the Democrats in control of Congress, they're exercising their memory muscle for creative dissent--and getting more media coverage than their liberal counterparts. In recent weeks, for example, what the New York Times calls a "loose-knit coalition of conservative voters and advocacy groups," including Republican activists egged on by right-wing radio talk-show hosts, have mounted protests in Texas, Pennsylvania and elsewhere to oppose Obama's healthcare reform. On August 1, a few hundred conservative activists in Austin, Texas, some carrying signs that said "No Socialized Health Care," surrounded Democratic Congressman Lloyd Doggett at a supermarket, where he was meeting with voters.
The right-wing groups use Twitter and Facebook to recruit protesters and quickly put videos of their actions on YouTube. However narrow the constituency for these protests, the campaign is making headlines and contributing to the reluctance of centrist Democrats to back Obama's healthcare plan.
Public opinion polls reveal that Americans are angry about the current economic, healthcare, housing and environmental crises. Polls also document that a significant majority of Americans want the federal government to do something to fix these problems. But history shows that public opinion, on its own, isn't enough to change public policy.
People have to believe not only that things should be different but also that they can be different. Anger has to be mixed with hope. And to be effective politically, that hope has to be mobilized through collective action--in elections, meetings with elected officials, petitions, e-mail campaigns, rallies, demonstrations and even, at times, civil disobedience.
Protest--including civil disobedience, demonstrations and large-scale marches--is not the same as mindless militance. It is not riots and rock-throwing. To be effective, protest must be strategic and disciplined, and it must capture the public's imagination and conscience. People must view the cause as just and empathize with the protesters. As Martin Luther King Jr. explained in his famous "Letter From Birmingham Jail," civil disobedience makes sense only when all other means of reaching decision-makers have been exhausted and people's frustrations have boiled over.
Since Obama took office, there have been very few public expressions of discontent. We've heard very little about everyday Americans--workers facing layoffs and the loss of health insurance, jobless Americans exhausting their unemployment insurance, renters facing eviction, homeowners facing foreclosures, farmers losing their farms, high school students facing cuts in school programs and college students facing rising tuition--mobilizing to demand immediate action to end their hardship and suffering.
During the Obama era so far, union, community, environmental and other liberal activists have carefully calibrated their efforts on behalf of legislation. They've engaged in lots of lobbying and meetings with members of Congress. E-mails to politicians have been fast and furious. Unions and other groups are purchasing TV and radio ads to push centrist Democrats to support healthcare reform. There are occasional rallies and public forums to show support for the president's agenda. Through Organizing for America, the lobby group created to sustain the momentum generated by millions of campaign volunteers, Obama has encouraged liberal bloggers and supporters to rally support for White House initiatives. This week, in response to the right-wing mob attacks on Democratic legislators, Obama wrote to the 13 million people on his OFA e-mail list and asked them to commit to attend at least one event this month to show support for his healthcare plan.
These polite activities are necessary, but they don't create a sense of urgency or crisis. With some exceptions, they don't generate TV stories and newspaper headlines. They don't put pressure on Congressional fence-sitters to fear a groundswell of negative publicity or a threat to their re-election chances. They are not sufficient to balance the influence of corporate campaign contributions. As a result, many of Obama's initiatives face a stalemate.
We confront the worst economic calamity since the Great Depression, with tens of millions of Americans suffering privately and silently while Republicans and centrist Democrats thwart efforts to bring about much-needed reform.

Boston College falls short against No. 23 NC St.
Anderson drew a foul while dunking a rebound and his three-point play drew BC within 72-71 with 27 seconds left. But the Eagles had to foul and picked Wood, who made all six of his attempts from the line.
Purvis scored 19 points, Richard Howell finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds and Lorenzo Brown had 14 points and eight assists for the Wolfpack.
N.C. State was 12 for 21 from the field in the first half, but the Wolfpack made just 4 of 11 foul shots and pulled down only one offensive rebound in the period. N.C. State still led 29-28 at halftime, thanks in part to the Eagles' own struggles from the foul line.
BC made 9 of 15 free throws in the first half.

"Turkey"s recent judicial reforms package brings improvements, in principle, to the judicial system, but that should only be seen as a first step to effectively safeguard the independence and impartiality of judges, prosecutors and lawyers," said Gabriela Knaul, the Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers.
The main purpose of Lawyers need to be treated as equal counterparts of judges and prosecutors within the legal professions.Ms. Knaul"s five-day visit, which ended today, was to assess a series of judicial reforms recently undertaken by the Government. She also had the opportunity to examine issues of access to justice, fair trial guarantees, the availability of legal defence and the legal profession.
She noted areas where improvement is needed to strengthen the independence and impartiality of the judiciary, including rationalizing the way in which judges and prosecutors are moved through a sort of rotation system, possibly taking into account the specialization they have acquired during their career when they are assigned to other posts.
She also cited the need for a High Council of Judges and Prosecutors that is completely independent from the Executive, structurally, functionally and in practice. Currently, the Minister of Justice presides over the High Council and authorizes its investigations.
In addition, the Special Rapporteur said that "the far too close relationship between judges and prosecutors" raises concerns about the respect of the principles of impartiality and equality of arms.
A concern that Ms. Knaul heard "quite regularly" is that, in the daily performance of their duties, lawyers are not treated at the same level as judges and prosecutors. "One symbolic example in this regard is the fact that in the courtroom both judges and prosecutors sit on a podium during the hearings, while lawyers sit at a lower level, close to the defendants and the public.
"Lawyers need to be treated as equal counterparts of judges and prosecutors within the legal professions," she underscored in her preliminary observations.
Another example of the difficulties that lawyers face are obstacles such as limitations to access case files, non-disclosure of evidence, delays in contact with their clients, and undue identification of the lawyer with his/her clients or the clients" causes as a result of discharging their functions.
"Almost unanimously judges and prosecutors have called my attention to the issue of workload and a backlog of cases, which is of course among the main causes of delays in the proceedings," the expert added. "This structural problem also affects the citizens" effective access to justice, as justice delayed is justice denied."
During her visit, Ms. Knaul visited Ankara, Istanbul and Diyarbakir where she held discussions with Government officials, judges, prosecutors, bar associations, lawyers, academics, international and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and UN agencies.
The Special Rapporteur, who functions in an independent and unpaid capacity, will present her final conclusions and recommendations on Turkey to the Human Rights Council in Geneva next June.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I had to get the sunroof motor & sunroof replaced before 36K miles was warranty but I had to take back to the dealers 3x as the molding was not glued on right. They said they did not do many replacements on this yet.
I am now experiencing the wipers won't shut off of a delay mode. They are telling me could be the wiper switch & it is only a couple hundred dollars. I know have 40K miles on it. Easy for them to say when I am paying 459/month car payment. Not a lot of room for repairs. What next??

Community plans for Workington's empty sixth form centre
Last updated at 11:58, Friday, 03 January 2014
Ambitious plans have been revealed to give Workington's empty sixth form centre a new lease of life.
Parts of the Moorclose campus would be passed into community ownership under the proposals.
Buildings have stood empty since September when students moved to a new base within Southfield Technology College.
But members of Moorclose Community Centre are looking into the possibility of managing the site to safeguard its future.
Gerald Humes, county councillor and director of the community centre, said: "Following the closure of the sixth form college the site has faced an uncertain future and now represents a potential liability to the council, particularly in light of continuing austerity cuts.
"Public bodies have powers to transfer buildings to local communities. This process has been shown to deliver tangible and long-lasting benefits by empowering people to develop their own solutions to local problems."
The work, while still subject to public consultation, is likely to include major refurbishment of the sports hall and changing rooms, redevelopment of the theatre and auditorium as a conference venue, and the creation of a community cafe.
It could also include a pioneering youth venue, and the conversion of classrooms into employment and training centres.
The complex houses a public library, but it is uncertain whether this would form part of the community asset transfer.
A working group, which will report to the board of the Moorclose Community Centre, will develop a business plan and seek funding for a feasibility study.
It is expected to take about a year to consult residents and gauge the level of community support.
James Watson, of the Natural Regeneration Consultancy, is acting as project advisor.
Mr Humes added: "My idea is for a one-stop shop for local charities and community groups but we would have to be sure that it would stack up."
He added that the sports hall, theatre and arts block could become a resource centre with youth provision.
According to a briefing paper, potential benefits would include bringing empty buildings back into use, helping disadvantaged communities and creating improved financial security for the Moorclose Community Centre charity.
The county council has already agreed in principle to the transfer of the former CDT block which has been occupied by the Moorclose Community Centre charity since 1992.
A council spokesman said: "We are continuing to work with local people to look at future uses for the Moorclose campus."

Residential Master's Curriculum & Degree Requirements
Residential Master's Quick Links
Residential Master's Home – Admission and Tuition – Frequently Asked Questions
The residential master's degree curriculum emphasizes a balance between systematic learning about health services and public health issues on the one hand and management and policy analysis, concepts, and techniques on the other. Emphasis is placed on both classroom and experience-based learning.
Team Approach
The residential master's program emphasizes a team approach to learning. In many of the courses, students are grouped in teams of three to six students to complete course-related projects, assignments, and team-based exams. In addition to assigned teams, most students form ongoing, informal study groups to enhance individual learning.
Degrees and Concentration
The residential master's program offers three degrees:
- Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH)
- Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA)
- Master of Public Health (MPH)
Students also select a secondary area of concentration, such as: policy analysis, managed care, health economics, financial management, quality management, marketing or international health.
Description of Residential Master's Programs
Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH)
The MSPH is a professional degree designed to prepare students for careers in health policy analysis, planning, development, evaluation, and advocacy at local, state, federal, and international levels as well as in the private sector. The MSPH degree is particularly appropriate for individuals interested in pursuing careers in public policy, public advocacy organizations, consulting research organizations, federal and state government entities, public health departments, non-governmental organizations, and international health organizations. Students obtain a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare system, policy analysis, and analytic methods.
Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA)
The MHA is a professional degree for students wishing to pursue management careers in health systems, hospitals, consulting firms, managed care organizations, insurance firms, non-governmental organizations, medical group practices, government agencies and other settings. The MHA degree is designed to provide strong preparation in the management disciplines, a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare sector, experiential elements, and an opportunity to pursue an area of concentration. All students will enter the program with some work experience; those choosing to continue full-time work are counseled to study in the distance program. The intended outcome for those working full-time, and for those who bring more management experience to either the residential or distance program, is postgraduate employment in the health care industry with more, or more significant, management responsibility than that held previously. For those in either the residential or distance program with more limited management experience, the intended outcome is a responsible health care management position, which for some of those who already hold full-time positions may entail a change of organization.
PLEASE NOTE: The MPH is a professional degree intended for those students who hold a doctoral-level professional degree (e.g., JD, MD, DDS, PhD), or are in the process of completing a doctoral-level degree.
The UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health is now participating in SOPHAS (Schools of Public Health Application Service). All MPH applicants must submit a SOPHAS application and a Graduate School application. Please see detailed instructions here.
Students gain a comprehensive understanding of public health philosophy, methods, and values and are provided with an orientation to management and policy-related careers in the health field. The degree is suitable for individuals who have an interest in either healthcare management or health policy. MPH graduates successfully pursue careers in health systems, hospitals, consulting firms, managed care organizations, medical group practices, government agencies, public policy organizations, public health departments, and international health organizations. Those interested in board certification in preventive medicine or public health dentistry should pay special attention to this degree.
Additionally, there is the opportunity for students currently pursuing a professional doctoral degree (or a PhD in another field) to earn simultaneously an MPH degree. Such students are awarded the MPH degree after, or concurrently with, the doctoral degree. For these students, eligibility for award of the MPH degree requires completion of the doctoral degree. Students who do not complete the doctoral degree may subsequently apply to either the MSPH or MHA program, but must meet the admissions requirement for the two-year programs, including submitting current GRE scores. Course credits previously earned through the MPH program can be applied toward the MSPH or MHA degree requirements if the student is admitted.

The other day, as I was going out the door, I stopped for a moment and smiled at my mom, who was standing in the kitchen. She gave me a big smile back. I said, "I'm glad that you're my momma!" She said, "I'm glad that you're my kid! And I gave her a big hug.
Have I mentioned that my mom is adorable? I am so lucky to have a mom who has a good heart, is unfailingly kind to others, and has nothing but pure, loving intentions.
When I think about it, it makes me sad that so many people have never experienced the unconditional love that my mom has showered upon me since the day I was born. The best I can do is pass on her legacy by being kind and loving to others.
The world is a better place because my mom is in it.
