Which is exactly what it is-a miracle and unrepeatable.

And they were: having an intimate relationship and having made a difference."

It is the season for my hair to be silver, and each season has its lessons to teach. Each season of life is wonderful if you have learned the lessons of the season before. It is only when you go on with lessons unlearned that you wish for a return.
