However, her mama is relentless in wrapping her again, and this time more carefully.
Tiny and I were married on April 7th 2010, it’s 2 years already! I am thankful to God everyday for letting our paths meet. And certainly marriage has been an awesome learning curve.
It didn’t take us long to understand that an external situation could effect the perfect peace of the relationship if we only let it affect us.
