I must admit I was going to go a whole ‘nother way, but then, felt I needed to thank my cousin, Marc, for coming, once again, to my rescue. I want you do know, dear Cuz, I never take you for granted. I appreciate your generosity over and over. And I know a certain Mick feels secure knowing you always have my back. Je t’aime, mon cousin! xoxo

I only mention it because my neighbour was forever knocking on my door asking favours. I always carried them out with a huge smile on my face, but actually when I saw him on my step I used to think ‘now what?’!!! He died last month and I really miss him.

High five. It’s funny you should mention that because the other high five has people confused as well. Some peeps think it’s praying, LOL.
