I would give the people I love my heart, especially my children. Not because I do not value my life, but I value theirs before my own. Though to die for a stranger, or more than that, someone unkind, that’s a love that I am learning. I think about God how much He loved us,…

Almost a year ago I was taken to the emergency room by my husband. Though I will spare all the details, I was very unwell. I had been for a while. The doctor that I ended up having, advised that I be admitted to the hospital to be monitored. I really was hoping to just…
