Oh Julie this means so very much to me. Thank you so much for your kind words. When I was in the midst of it all sometimes everything gets blurry and this helped me remember too all the great times together we had. I love you so much and am so proud of the strong resilient woman you have become and are still blossoming. Yes, the spatula was my go-to intimidating disciplinary tool of choice. ❤️❤️
