- Just a reminder, but just because I post a story or an image, that doesn’t mean it’s something I endorse or embrace.
- The story behind the top image on this post here.
- Tomorrow will mark the 29th anniversary of my grandmother’s death. It was the first loss of a loved one for me, and for some reason, April 23 has always stuck in my mind since I was a ten-year-old.
