Oh Kit!!!

Such wonderfull news from you ! You are soooo Blessed ! Let me say Congratulations and I pray that the rest of your journey goes swiftly. (F)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
