    It’s not just a word anymore, more than just a feeling. It’s everyday, everyway but because of the pain I know God in a deeper way. And that makes it worth it. — read more

  • The Sins of the Father

    I found out that my uncle passed away yesterday, after a long battle with cancer in a way it’s a blessing. The sad part is that I hardly knew him.
