What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an ...read more

But grief comes from losing something you’ve already had.” ― Jodi Picoult "Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the ...read more
