There’s one right here.”
I sat down next to Tammy.Soon cla was over, and we still had a lot to say.“Why don’t you come over later?” Tammy asked.“I live on a farm.There’s plenty of room for the kids to run.” We went.And since that day, we’ve been back a million times. When I look back, I’m grateful for that tough time.I learned to persevere.I’m
