Still around.  A lot has changed.  My fiance died in December 2020 due to a motorcycle accident in May of 2020.  My 'best friend' said I was asking too much to expect her to do what she promised about my first birthday after his death.  Since I was turning a significant number, she promised to make it an amazing birthday, but she 'forgot' and ( Read more... )
