Inauspiciously, the journey started, in the arms of another.
Unable to comprehend the meaning of the journey, or see the road ahead.
At some point, I exerted my influence on my surroundings, demanding to walk

Did you ever have one of those days? You know, if you’d planned it, it couldn’t have turned out weirder? I have had a lot of strange experiences since I started working in home health. A few unsavory ones, a couple of pretty scary ones, some reall...

Love is the roof over my head, protecting me from the rain.
Love is the life component that makes me whole again.
