Congratulations on the win. No truer words ever penned.
I love that photograph. My sister and I used to play in a steel tub like that. Was just looking at pictures the other day.

Now this was cute. I like the fact that the picture was ofa young girl and the idea of diamonds makes me think of someone older. nice imagery and the flow was great. I love the last line. Very simple and yet very true. nicely done.

Congratulations!

This is very sweet and heartwarming.

Must admit, I loved my dog very much, but when a 2.5 carat diamond slid on my finger - I changed the object of my love very quickly.
