Alexander when we were in Tasmania which is a beautiful part of Australia

Under the Tree is a beautiful supportive place for parents of angels to go to, Carly works so much in creating a gentle and comforting place for us to meet and be supported by each other. She does a set of questions and I am going to answer them below, the link to "Under the Tree" is below if you want to copy and paste the questions..

I love Forest Gump- I used to watch it ALL the time!! Even now it's one of those go-to movies when I can't decide on what I want to watch.
