Mr. Tony,

Thanks for sharing this link...What a wonderful story, and what marvelous thoughts Mr. William shared...I sometimes feel sorry for those that have such a need to criticize others and their work that they don't have time to enjoy what is there, and what can be...Nature is a beautiful thing IF we just spend a bit of time enjoying it...A well worn phrase is worth repeating again I think..."Take time to smell the roses"...

Regards

Tony, a very humbling story, thank you.

Regards,

Chris.

Regarding William's poignant and heartbreaking story, I know of another story from Russia that has a very happy ending.
I know a couple from California that were unable to have their own children. They went to Russia several years ago to adopt a child. They found a little girl in an orphanage, and after weeks of rigimarole were able to bring her home. What a beautiful, bright child she is. All involved are very, very happy. The kicker to this story is that the child and the adoptive mother bear such a resemblance to each other, that no one would ever guess the circumstances.
Both these stories make me remember something I try to keep in mind:
"To get more than you give, you must give more than you get".
