Take a big breath and let it out slowly. Remember that you are truly loved. Just for right now, find peace in that statement. And repeat it over...
Dean, if I recall correctly you are married. Does she know? If so, how is she handling the news? Is there a desire to stay together?
Is your wife on any meds? I struggle with weight gain which is really bad because I already had body shame. According to my doctor, some of my...
Oh no. I’m sorry to hear this David! Get well soon and keep us updated.
That’s some great pictures. That green and yellow brings up good childhood memories for me. My grandfather always had John Deere equipment. I’m...
