Jan 2017

i gave my 2 older girls gold coins for xmas one year, and told them that.
get away money
money for an abortion
just an ace in the hole, so they never could feel totally trapped in a corner.

didnt give them to the youngest at the time, but was planning to do so soon.
so glad to see this!! this will be the coin.
