Someone watching over me

Someone watching over me

This may sound from the first paragraph that it's going to be a depressing post...it's really not, bear with me...there is light. Two major life events happened for me in a matter of days in the first week of October, 1991. On the Monday I found out I was pregnant and on the Sunday, just [...]

Learning and Sharing as a Blogger
