    Just had my heart broken....

    Don't worry about the sour milk that he turned out to be. I kissed alot of frogs before I found my husband 3 years ago and I said he was my Orchid cause I was always searching for a Rose. (that was a song by MICKEY GILLEY) "I OVER LOOKED AN ORCHID WHILE SEARCHING FOR A ROSE." Anyway what I am trying to say is stay in there and stand tall the best is yet to come. take care and good luck:thumbup:
