Numbe...Happy Birthday Tara!! What lovely pictures:)<br />Number 1 has been the hardest for me to cope with in life. But what it comes down to is we don't all think alike and sadly, my giving heart doesn't always get the same kindness back from people. You have to either accept those people and move on with them or learn to just let them go.
