The truth is

It has been 24 hours since I left David in the safe bed. I am trying to adjust to sleeping, but don’t want to make too much change, as he will be back home on Saturday. The truth is, I miss him.

No one deserves to bear the brunt of another person’s never ending anger. Still, if I

The reason for disabled kids….

I say this Mr. Politician. My wife has never had an abortion, not that it is any business of yours. We have a couple of kids with disabilities. How do you explain that? I and a huge number of other parents of kids with special needs take offense at your words. Be happy I don’t live in Virginia anymore, I would do everything in my power to see that you got recalled. It is one thing to be against abortion. I am not in favor of it myself, but until I grow my own vagina, I am not going to tell a woman what to do with hers. However, to blame
