Hands to hold while we are here

 I have been fortunate enough to meet people and traveled to places I never dreamt possible as a child.  My life, as many others, started out narrow with small expectations has almost come full circle. Perhaps with ones who were willing to help guide me through the journey I was always one to trust and take the others hand.
