74. Soph your family is here for you- I watched my mom & brother go this way- it's heart-breaking to see

Fri Aug 28, 2020, 06:26 PM

Aug 2020

but it's been all over now for a long time. After they found their peace - they're still my mom and my brother. Nothing can ever take them, or their place in my life, away from me.

You don't have to be the 'strong one,' you just have to be there. We will be here with you.
