Loves of my life

I’m 26 days away from cuddling this little Nugget again and hugging my son and his fiancee’. And it’s 28 days until she is his wife. It’s an exciting and yet stressful time because I’m not there to help. I’m not there to babysit while she goes and does wedding stuff. I’m not there to […]
