The Flame Within

Amazing how Satan plans attacks when we’re already weakened. A family member, who I do not communicate with because she is quite toxic and full of anger, completely and out of the blue, for no reason at all sent me a FB message. This isn’t the first time this person has verbally assaulted me, in […]

Thought I was ready to say goodbye. Years of watching you suffer made me cry. You told me you were ready. Month after month your balance grew more unsteady. Slowly, I watched your body decline.
