Still Standing

A former schoolmate of mine posted this picture and asked us to to title it. ‘Broken But Still Standing’. This was the thought that immediately came to mind as I looked at this house.

For Him

Recently I had a conversation with one of my sister girls – about the men in our lives. We talked about our sons.
