My mom and I visited my grandfather last weekend. It’s around a four to five hour drive for us both ways. Distance doesn’t matter when someone means so much. My Papa is 86 years young. He lives independently in the house he had built in the 80’s on a little less than three acres. He’s…
If you’ve read anything I’ve written, it’s obvious I’m Christian. I’m not the kind that is knocking on peoples doors to “save them”. You do you. Your belief system may be different from mine.
