Excited for you, shell or no shell, you shine! Don’t shed your shell completely, but take care to know that inside of a shell a pearl grows and you are a most valuable pearl. You have taken, along with your Mom and Dad and Jack, very loving watch over your shell. I’d like to think of your shell, now, as being the arms of God surrounding you. We love you and pray that this embrace keeps you happy and fulfilled. You are precious! Much ❤️
