ReplyDeleteAnd that tiny bun resting on your chest.
And that beautiful woman of God. Ah, Chels. I love you so much and really strongly miss you. Talk soon. How I wish you could be there in PA on my wedding day, helping me get ready, reminding me of sweet wife things to give to my husband, praying over me. Ah, what I wouldn't give to have you there. I love you so much.
