Another chance tomorrow.

Yes.

Again, tomorrow, we have another chance to love our lives,
even when someone we love is grasping for theirs.
But mostly, we just have to notice those things that we have to be grateful for.

Shannon,

I love your fall photos and your observation, "Another chance tomorrow..."

You and Adam and Saribenne and the kids are in our thoughts.
