EmilyJ commented on the post, adopt 3 months, 1 week ago
She had never thought to adopt the new trends. To her they were ridiculous and she needed that old comfort that came with the well worn clothes and styles of the times she was happiest. Nothing made her feel […]

Crisscrossed with empty hooks and patterned bizarrely with the shadows of photos long gone the walls were lonely and bereft of warmth. It was immediately evident to Deidre that her mother had died embittered and […]

The damned camera dominated every family event. Now just the girls, now just the boys, now the three generations, now in laws only, now blood family only… On and on till hours were just a blur of flashes and […]
