Family…. It really is everything…. Shake up.. when health problems hit your family. Parents age, but you never really think about what could happen… what will happen. It’s never good… honestly.. Aging SUCKS. I know myself, Damn I wish I was 17 or 27… Instead of 57! So much I would do.. even though I […]
