Nice. Too many think that it belongs only to a child. (I refuse to grow up, thank you . . .) |

 (smiles) Oh Chris, this is sooooooo adorable, sweet friend, I just love children sooooooo much and may they forever encourage you to see the world in innocence and color! (kiss on cheek) Yay, God Bless You, sweet friend, I wrote a poem somewhere back on these pages about the wild imagination of a child that you might like, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Children do seem to see wonders in everything. If only we could see with the eyes of a child. |

Chris, I'm so glad this is coming around again. I would have hated to miss this jewel. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all see the wonderment of things through childrens eyes? I love to talk to kids. They are so wise, with their precious innocence. They are always completely honest, too, with their opinions. LOL I've been told lots of times that I have such a way with kids and teenagers, and they want to be around me so much, because I act like them. If that's the case, I hope I never change!! LOL Your little grandson is adorable...give him a hug for me, and keep one for yourself, my friend..... Ethel |
