Amber But my family wasn’t the only blessing that had come from the past year.There were so many other joys to reminisce about.Like Reed.Just remembering everything he had gone through made my chest tighten.Reed had survived the treatment.Even now, it still felt incredible to say that.He had
AmberOne year laterThe last twelve months had been the craziest but best that I had ever had. That was the only way to put it because though there were bad times, there were a lot of miracles as well.A lot of miracles.When I thought about everything that had happened over the past year, my chest
