With the cameras rolling and the world watching, people can do most anything (for the moment).

The good intentions, the family first, the not knowing what to do with a thin and healthy self. I've done it before. You've done it before. We just need to figure out how to do it again -- for good.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12547679169487196540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-67966856681504341962011-05-12T15:13:00.683-04:002011-05-12T15:13:00.683-04:00So sorry for your loss, Amy.
