This blog thing has been a way for me to do something that I have always wanted to do, and also A way for me to vent as my life was being ripped to shreds. I have started smiling again, not all the time, but often enough that I am able to go through some days without feeling completely helpless hopeless afraid and alone. Thank you for being a part of this process!Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12384347526625976847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316020526036835406.post-79596363494166324942011-12-28T18:46:06.522-08:002011-12-28T18:46:06.522-08:00erin called that one right.
