Description: Loved this donkey with all my heart and will happily wear her image forever.

Description: A lifetime in a loving family, spotted with loses of some of those dearest to me, has taught me a valuable lesson. Love and life are not without hardship, disappointments, or pain; but heartfelt love brings hope, comfort, and joy. Love is the root of all good things. The greatest joy in this world is to love… getting love in return? That is icing on the cake. And so I wish you all… Love.

To this day everyone still laughs about it... and yes, he's still pretty sassy.
