  • Long road got longer

    It is now June and I’m finally home. Words couldn’t describe how happy I was to be home. To sleep in my own bed, see my kitchen, my desk and my own bathroom. To look outside and see my truck and how warm it was. It felt great but short lived because I had to Continue reading
