Collateral damage brings to mind the Maui fire devastation to me. Amazing that you did that in watercolor! I was touched by the quote. A good reminder. I need those reminders! Thanks Jacki xoxo

Thanks Elenor, I am lucky that Jake is still here, at least till December when he graduates. Then I imagine he will go where the best job offer is. And, yes, I think we are all needy of kindness.
