- The page is a vibrant scrapbook layout. It includes a central photograph of two individuals holding a pillow with a design that includes the phrase "THINGS ARE GOING TO BE OKAY." The page is adorned with large pink flower petals, adding a decorative touch. The left side of the page has a cityscape image, while the right side contains handwritten text. The text is layered over a textured background, and the edges of the paper are slightly torn, giving it a rustic, handmade appearance.

Forward and gave me
5o Red and pink roses, very
moving very sweet
love those kids
we've shared so many
hours together, so many
conversations, so much
love and trust
And now it's even
be a new crop of kids
new project
Heading into the
holidays, needing rejuvenation
Physical, strength
What a time
My strategy is to build
build, build. We built a
sculpture, and we also
built a network of
love and trust that
is indestructible. - Rights
