Posted on July 10, 2020 by JANET L BARKER

I’m sitting on my couch bed, near the balcony where I can feel the wind and the fresh air. The baby is good. She’s drifting in a breast-milk tummy-full slumber. She’s smiling. She’s healthy. She’s Life. Her mommy is looking for a bigger apartment… Continue Reading “She’s Life”
