Our Proud Parents!
It's a special bond that spans the years
Through laughter, worry, smiles and tears,
A sense of trust that can't be broken,
A depth of love sometimes unspoken,
A lifelong friendship built on sharing,
Hugs and kisses, warmth and caring,
Parent and child, their hearts as one -
A link that can never be undone.
Halle enjoyed it too!
Secret Santa! Who is behind the beard?
