You may see that I share some of your blogg posts Melaine. Your writing has been such a support to me over the years. I share to a very small group of parents in a support group for those of us who’s children chose to go on ahead. I hope it gives them as much comfort as it did and still does to me.
I feel truly blessed finding you. ❤
