Welcome!!



I have returned!! I haven't blogged in about 5 years, but I thought I'd do it again! I'm probably going to blog about random thoughts I have on faith, mental health, movies/tv shows, sports and other things that come to mind.

On many nights, I would hear noises, some would say it was just something outside, but I was sure it was a ghost. So that’s why we got Kiwi. She would provide me company, friendship and much needed protection- that is, until we found out she was blind. Kiwi was special, sure she was blind and had digestive problems, but she was sweet. She loved us, even when we got mad at her, she wouldn’t hold a grudge- she would just love us period. And we loved her too. We loved her so much. That’s why it was so hard to say goodbye yesterday. When we had to pu...
