You know what life means to me?Not queen-sized castles,but sand castles built on beaches.Not big seas or ports,but puddles and peebles.there are some things in life that may not be worth keeping on a mantlepiece but which mean a lot to us....like your folks,your best friends,your school building,your first bicycle, a wild childhood,your grad years,and of course your long journey....here's a very personal entry-
life means....
fitting into your papa's sweater
