OM GOSH! This is a PRICELESS image in so MANY WAYS!I am so thrilled and touched by this image all at once.
To See Our Very Own Dominick At This Mighty Tree Of Hope...Showing His Respect!!! WOW!!!
Dominick, you are a wonderful Ambassador for us ALL here at BP that have prayed and mourned and cried over what happen a year ago to our Ann and so many others there in Christchurch.
Remembering the dead and reminding the survivors of not only that but that some things will go on and endure and be strong!
Ann, this is so beautiful!
Love and Prayers for the continued healing of your land and people!
