I understand this transition all too well! Only mine had a choice! It is the sun in rust when the boy chronologially holds the gun and is the toy soldier! Such a sad occurrence! Poignant! sammy xoxoxo

Beautiful! Powerful!! Phenomenal!!! That's how I am going to describe my princess Marta, with a happy and presperous New Year with lots of xoxos sent her way from her prince of the desert sands.
