It is quite amusing to think that ideally we should be giving our

well said!

Nice rendering and prose. Such a complex matter eh?

Thank you everyone for your comments.

Dragan, indeed, Love is complex. And yet, it also so sweet and


simple.

As always, a special thanks to you Lynn for words of affirmation


and support.

Warms Regards,
