I have a lot to be thankful for. and I thank God for those things, too.
I am aware of a love affair that has all of the ingredients of a steamy novel. There is passion, hate, an overwhelming preoccupation with the object of affection, a heedless disregard for the conventions of the day, and a recklessness that throws caution to the winds.
