so true, Steph, bitter sweet. What a wonderful night to see your grandson reach his goal (and yours). Having read Lolly's son's message makes me think that she poured so much good into her family that it will reap good things for generations to come. Life is strange and sometimes hard to live, but I am so grateful for this very day and the ability to share even the sad times with those I care so much about. May those in trouble get a gift of peace today and a gift of blessings in the days to come. ma
