Ups and Downs

Trusting the Process
Guys... Im not ready for him to leave. I don't think I ever will be. I pray these are the 7 slowest days of my life followed by the 6 quickest months of my life. We both are extremely stressed. We still have a lot to figure out with the house, car and other things …
