My dear friends,

Where are you? We are lost without your presence in the FP. We are in fact lonely!

Please visit us with your priceless nominations and share the joy of reading a wonderful post with us and all of your fellow ILites.

Looking forward to welcoming you here.

Luv,
SS and Kamla

Dear SS and Kamla,

Here I come with 2 of my nominations:

1) Twinsmom's tribute to her fil. She has a way with language and the words that she uses. I was crying all through the post.

2) Infinitehopes' post on domestic violence. Its a thought provoking question and I guess its the need of the hour too.

Best regards,
Hema
