Oliver Gabe Friedman sent in another great work: “This is a follow up piece to ‘he proud, she joyful‘… It’s so nice to feel the love between these two. It exemplifies the idea that behind every great man there is a great woman. Or lets say behind any great person are other great people that love them and support them and believe in them.”

This one came in from a reader “sd335908” with unfortunatly no information attached.
