https://youtu.be/5LWpw3CMCEg About five years ago, I encountered a couple in the parking lot of a grocery store. They were probably in their late 70's.

A few years ago, I had my heart broken pretty badly. My foster son was a pretty good distraction because he moved in shortly thereafter. But that heartbreak made me really leery about relationships & made me even question my ability to trust someone again. I didn’t doubt my ability to love - because I’m … Continue reading Risking Your Heart
