The test is Friday! Some warm and fuzzy words written by British WWI veteran A.A. Milne (author of Winnie the Pooh) Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh “If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
