REVEAL: Memories and Thanks Blog Hop

 “The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”
― J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird

In memory of my in-laws, 

Allie V.  Richardson Turner and Saul L. Turner

 God truly blessed me when he sent you and your beautiful family into my life.

 I thank God for you everyday.

I miss you both SO much.

My prayer is that I will see you both again. I NEED to see you again.

This post is part of a special "Memories and Thanks Blog Hop", sponsored by our own Lori Anderson.
