Going on a YouTube Adventure
I know, I know, haven’t blogged or read blogs in ages. And today, all I can find to do is promote my YouTube project….

For her and us, her family and friends a world-altering diagnosis. She had been diagnosed with cancer. On that day we did not know the extent of the sickness.
