with Lighter Heart

Love, a strange beast of many a level, type, twist and turn. Perhaps our children, perhaps an old flame, perhaps . . . . who knows and no matter - whoever it is, or was, in our own way we have loved them through the gamut of dreams, heartache, joy and laughter that sits within our heart. So, whatever your loves have brought to you, I hope you can enjoy this little selection of love in some shape or guise.
