Today is Memorial Day, a day we remember those who have served and are serving in our armed forces and protecting our freedom.

I’m disabed and my wife is neglectful and abusive

By Leslie Vernick | April 26, 2010 |

Hi, I had a wonderful week visiting with my grandbaby. She is so sweet and cuddly. I actually got to keep her overnight for one day to give my daughter a break.
