One of my favorite moments was after I put my family in a cab to their hotel, and the doorman tipped his hat and smiled at me. I said "It's been a great day."<br />He responded "I can tell - you're glowing." Bless the man :) I can honestly say I won in every way that matters.Erin Knightleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368123673970225476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-89391502518813850802011-07-12T22:33:08.802-04:002011-07-12T22:33:08.802-04:00Best speech ever!
