So he has to 'believe' in
Posted on Tue, 24 Dec 2024

Glad you are so much better, Jenny. Pain and illness ceratinly make us appreciate freedom from it the more. Many troubles in this life, but much wonder and joy too, and good when we have human support and companionship and help, and medical, and...
