Married my love that I had asked out nineteen years ago. We got back in touch three years ago; we eloped nine months later. I have never been married before. He wanted me to have a wedding that I never had. One year later we had a ceremony for my family and friends.

My niece had told her that Isis does not believe in killing children and there were children among the dead. My heart breaks, even though I posted my feelings on a media site, I hope my state shows support for them, many countries have shown us support. Then we got talking about […]
