You have such a beautiful smile, I bet you are a fun person to be around. Do you have children there in OK, that you moved there to be with?

- Hello Elma, I was thrilled to get your friend invite. Moving that greay a distance must be realy hard. The main lesson I have learned from life is things I experience can make me "bitter" or "better" and it is up to me to make the choice of which it will be. My family says I am better and believe me my family will tell you the truth "pretty or ugly" :) so think I will believe them.
