Nice to "meet" you Kerrie! I loved reading and getting to know more about you.
You've been through Hell... contratulations on 11 years, I have so much respect for your strength in the face of pain and lack of sound role models! <3
Your grandson is absolutely precious! I know what you mean about how hard it is to say no to a cute face (I have four cute boys! <3 ) . Two of my boys have family in Wisconsin (my ex's family).
Hope your sweet pitty healed well and that she's able to jump and play 'til her hearts content.
I look forward to reading more of your writing! I found you through Alain's writer's lift post this evening. :)
