This is just not my freaking year! Curious? Pull up a chair and let's talk.
First, I get a call from my baby sister and my whole world is turned upside-down. Now we are on the run from people we don't have the funds to outwit. We were safe for a quick minute and then the world and everything we've ever known took a trip into the unbelievable. You think this is the worst of it? Nope! Apparently, the universe was bored and decided to create something far more interesting for its own amusement. It seems like my story isn't over yet, even though that might have been easier for me to accept. Finding ourselves displaced in a time and space where we don't belong, and just as we believe all hope is gone. In stomps, the biggest, snarliest, ugliest thing I've ever seen.

I don't deserve her, but now that I've held her in my arms . . . that is where she will remain.
