Headaches, tummy-aches, nausea, body aches…it literally makes me sick all over. When your body says no…believe it! Thank God for wellness benefits! I will keep y’all posted! Love, Mic

There really has only been a handful of days that have gone by where I didn't think of him or wonder what he might think of the life that I have lived and am living. I miss him everyday and I mean single everyday! Losing my dad would shape me in ways I never imagined and honestly because of some of the trauma that I have endured throughout my life I still s
