I asked my husband if we should even hang this up this year. He said yes, because thanks for the memories.. but insisted his back be turned on us, for accuracy.
This is so heartwarming. Barbara and her Robin, together again.

Praying for Duxbury. For this family and everyone who loves them. For police and EMS who, as always, run toward horror and keep doing their job - no matter what they find. For 2 preschoolers in heaven. Praying for this mom. Cover this and consume this with compassion 🙏🏻
