I always send X's and O's to my granddaughter. I explained what they meant in case she didn't know, she's almost 13 (yikes), She sends them right back to me. love it! I think it's great you use them.
By the way, it was her Mother I sent the wise wisdom from Ms. Alice about girls and woman. She sent back -- "That's perfect. Thanks I needed that right now" She is 34, never married, but has two beautiful childern. She was going to get married this coming June, but decided not to. She has her own house, a good paying job, and doesn't really need anything from the fathers. She is a wise, strong, independent woman, but I know she struggles a bit with if she made the right decision. Sorry, I went off track here, but wanted to thank you and Wise Woman Alice, while I still remembered. XXXXXXXX OOOOOOOOO
I admire all you do, Pat.
