Hugs, friend!!! You're my hero! I am going to pray that God will show you a special place that you actually want to go to for Holly-time!
Hang in there! We are in Ukraine for a month, which is long enough, and I am also missing a dryer and root beer. I've never realized till now how much I hate hanging clothes and Alex is also going through at least 2 or 3 outfits a day! And, I know this won't solve all your problems...but I'd be happy to mail you a six pack of root beer once we get back to the US. I'll be praying for you.
Love you so much. Praying for you!
Oh honey, I'm so proud of you. I'm sorry it still feels so hard. Here's to tomorrow, right? I love you!
And your ponytails are adorable. :-)
I miss Jahangir too! And you!
