It's an honor to meet you and hear what you just shared Paige. I'm a gardener too, got some good pics from my place on my blog:

I didnt have alcoholic parents or go through foster care but I have my own demons that seek my life and soul. It's a daily battle; I'm sure you know.
We all have our own stories to tell.
