61. Losing a child is something hard to comprehend.

Mon Jul 19, 2021, 10:44 AM

Jul 2021

I have lost most everyone in my life, but not my children.
I wish I had told those now gone how much I loved them more often.
She was a beautiful young lady, lucky to have you, as you were lucky to have her.
Hugs to you Barb.
