Andy,
Thank you for sharing such personal information! I admire your strength and fortitude for being able to share your friendship with your ex-wife and her husband! Extraordinary!! Not many can do that. You are very special!
Wishing your friend a Happy Birthday! Enjoy the weekend! Will you and your wife be celebrating with him and his wife?
Will you be gifting this poem to him?
A perfect Nat King Cole song!
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.”

Love Barbershop & Bless this House ! When I lived in Liverpool we went into the Prison with the Choir ~ and one of our pieces was \"Bless this House\" ! It was only when we came to line \"Bless these walls so firm and stout ~ keeping want and trouble OUT ~ that I realised it was bit incongruous !

Andy,
Such an inspirational write!
The message is clear...
there’s always a way out!
My husband and I have tried to instill that in our children...and we continue on that path!
I enjoyed the video! I liked when he stepped on that cigarette and kicked away!

The SHADOWS ~ A Classic Instrumental Rock Ensemble ~ oft imitated but never ever excelled ! Apache was one of their most haunting compilations. I use their version of Chariots of Fire in my Dessert Islands Discs presentation (8 records to cover a mere 35 years !) ~ Love the Poem ~ my experience in all Aspects of Life there is always an alternative ~ sometimes \"The Road ~ less taken !\" Thanks ANDY for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN ! Please check my FLOWERS !

Andy,
Your granddaughter is gorgeous!
She is so alert!
Many Blessings to your family!
I love the verse you wrote and the song you chose to accompany it.
Billy Joel is a favorite of ours( mine and my husband’s)!
As a matter of fact, this is the song my husband chose to dance to at our daughter’s wedding! Not a dry eye in the ballroom!
A Special thank you for sharing a pic of your granddaughter! 💗
