Last bit of normal for a while
On October 17, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ had such a great time Wednesday night at the football game but it wore him out. He had a headache and went straight to bed when we got home.

On October 13, 2015 by Michelle LoveHe doesn’t get me. At all. Not many people do. Sometimes I wish he could crawl into my brain and hear the things that I say to him. Things that I wish he knew, but that I just can’t put into words. Things I can’t hear myself say out loud. Instead, we clash. Over and Read More
