Love is selfless. Love sacrifices.
For the past few weeks hubby and I have had a ramp up the front steps of our home. As you can see here … “Why??” you might be wondering. My friend recently had complex spine surgery, and…
Love is gentle.
I just have to say, it is so unnerving driving a fragile wounded person home from the hospital! My friend had complex spine surgery on Monday and just 5 days later the hospital was ready to discharge her. …
