Merry Christmas

> He grew up in a climate of respect feeling pretty sure of his Self.
> Apparently, he was well-liked, and he reciprocated. As an adult,

> His memory lives on because in our hearts, we know that we would like

And Merry Christmas to all of you. Thanks for your commentary Colin- pursuing the attitude of love and non-judgement with greater commitment would benefit us all.

Be Kind. Be Patient. Be Nice. Be Loving. Be Good.
