Ah yes! I remember those good old days. Lee Ann, thank you so much for triggering those memories. What a wonderful poem!

I love this poem because it is the triumph of persistence and determination. What beautiful memory you have, I love reading about the experiences of others it makes me feel connected. Great work Lee-Ann!
