Heaven gained an Angel
Here I sit in the wee hours of the morning. Unable to sleep, thoughts racing, my body needing rest. Tears are flowing and my heart grieves. My nana has gone to be with the Lord. Even though, she is biologically by husbands grandmother, she has been in my life since I was a teen. Before…
What’s love got to do with Juggling?
