Fallen crown… 👑
Many beautiful love stories and fables begin with “once upon a time” and then there’s some climax and triumph of love that leads to the inevitable and oh so misleading “happily ever after”.

Breakdown on the breakdown…
This weekend, I cried until my eyes burned. I sat in my shower and whimpered like an injured puppy, praying my daughter couldn’t hear me over the water running. Something I knew God sent me into, felt like it was falling apart right before my eyes and it hurt! I prayed and prayed and still…
