Love spending time with family
I spent so many years of my life using drugs, . Not until I finally decided to live life without the use of drugs, did I noticed how much time I had really missed.
When I came home from the program at the beginning of 2018. My father was ill and my grandmother was ill also.
Both my grandmother and my father, meant so much to me, After their passing, I made a promise to myself, I promised myself that our family will pray together and spend as much time together as possible..
Tomorrow is not promised..
God bless you,
Thank you,
