[The sweetness of a friend] Alright! So she's on deck again, and she has a lot to unpack. Why is she speaking in third person? I don't know. She does this sometimes, but mostly on Facebook. (Haha) Friendships I've got a lot on my mind about friendships. They can be a sweet and beautiful thing, … Continue reading Ships
