CAN YOU HELP ME?!
I don’t know where to begin!
Where to even begin to talk about what happened on Saturday.
So taking the advice of the wonderful Maria von Trapp, ‘let’s start at the very beginning, it’s a very good place to start…’
….and if this is to be so, then one post is not going to cut it.
So, incoming- this is be going to be a week and a half of gushing outpouring with gratitude and thanks to some truly UNSTOPPABLE people!
