I can feel the hurt in it, but in no way can I see or feel the brokenness in it. I'm in awe of your strength because I am sitting here balling my eyes out for you. For your family. For Teagan. I'll be thinking of you this July for sure.Deene Souza Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920420782523472645noreply@blogger.com
