The best we can do is take comfort knowing they'd be high-fiving us every day.<br /><br />Susan C Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225627756540127032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-57568074939297820682016-05-11T13:58:32.680-07:002016-05-11T13:58:32.680-07:00Thanks for joining the conversation, Vicki.
