You Life can be trying, This we know to be true. I remember better days, They were the ones I spent with you. There are moments I remember, It may be tomorrow or today.

It's My Birthday Family plans, cake and ice cream, Today is my birthday, a day to answer dreams. Children, grandchildren and a house full of friends, Hoping that the celebration doesn't end.

The Graduate
The Graduate You are all grown up and ready to face the world with a smile. It probably feels as if, you've traveled ten thousand miles. As you face this day with anticipation, think back to a time, can you recall, When you spent that first day in kindergarten and played your first game of T-ball. I... Sign in to see full entry.
Friends
