The struggle within
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.

We’re all just completely devastated. It was his monthly chemo/doctor exam day, and it started like it always did. Port accessed, blood drawn for labs, and some saline Read More
