If that's what it took to become the woman that you are… All the sadness and doubt that surrounded your world -- but the strength that you hold, all that love you possess.., is a gift to us all to be cherished and held tight. I know, for sure.., my life has been brighter since I first saw you draw. The depth of your nature and beauty of your soul, is something I will always be grateful for… Much love Johanna, from someone you've touched more than know -- hmmm, I think that's the first time I called you Johanna. Happy Thanksgiving to that beautiful child that still lives inside.
