above case computer five issues letters pictures shelf spell wrote

If she spoke, she would tell him the truth: she was not okay at all, but horribly empty, now that she knew what it was like to be filled.

Raw love, like raw heartache, could blindside you.
mother-daughter mother-and-daughter mom-and-daughter
All I know is that I carried you for nine months. I fed you, I clothed you, I paid for your college education. Friending me on Facebook seems like a small thing to ask in return.
