Ending as we Began

For Better or For Worse
People don't understand what "For better or for worse" means anymore. It is just something you say and you can bail out when times get tough. I'm not an anti-divorce crusader; I'm talking about what happens when people get old or sick. You can't just put your loved ones away and forget about... Read more...
