2018 decided it was going to welcome it's self with bad news and heartbreak. January 1st at 10:00am my best friend, my role model, my grandmother passed away quietly in hospital after a month or so of deteriorating health and a stroke she suffered a year prior and was never really able to recover fully [...]
Hey guys! Sorry for the delay on this post - I always try to get my posts up on Mondays and Fridays, this was suppose to be Friday's post...it is now Monday's (ugh) But this past week and weekend has thrown me for a loop and right off my mom game. I've had some terribly [...]
