Without this community over the past 7 years I don't know what I would have done when life has "happened" and my artistic mind has taken a hit, had I not had the encouragement of this family. We've had our arguments and you've all listened to my rants and for that I feel like I've taken far more than I have given but the LUG still is there in times like this and I'm truly grateful.
