Family is the most important thing...
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond TutuFirst off, due to the crazy nature of my work situation right now I haven’t had a lot of time to do a lot of reflecting so I apologize if this post feels disjointed and for it's lateness ( Read more... ) -
