I've seen the damage and experienced it personally from doctors who thought they weren't. Give me a human being any day.

He knew and still knows how you feel. When you think of him, you are revisiting your feelings about him and those feelings did not and do not go one way.<br /><br />O.P.W.opwfrederickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825123258961060714noreply@blogger.com
