On October 21, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ hasn’t felt well today, and continues battling a very bad headache that Tylenol wasn’t helping. He would rather not take it, but oxycodone took the edge off.

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.
