Tori, you are a great author and kept my interest. You made me laugh out loud, cry and really let us into your private life. I have been married for 30 yrs, 2 grown children and 5 grandsons. I was also attached to one parent, my mother which passed away 9 yrs ago and hardly no relationship with my father. I know the hurt! You reminded me the meaning of life is love, family & freinds. God Bless!
