The first several chapters of the book I started to write of a life without my Poppa I would lock myself in my room and fall into my own pit of sadness… Continue reading Oh Bittersweet Father’s Day
Share Your Heart. ♥️
I am now thirty one years old. Craziness, isn’t it?! I honestly never imagined being where I am in this moment. Or who I am.

& yes, the demons still come out to play. . .
