The Other Side

 

  Babe!  See what happens when I'm in charge? Let's not address the reason  the pool is green.  (my fault)  Let's focus on my amazing snapping skills instead. 👏 

 Today is July 16, 2025.  It's a normal day today, nothing unusual going on here, BUT today, 4 years ago, changed everything for us.   Today is July 16, 2021- the day we had our first session with Liz. I remember it well. I had the worst stomach ache during the session and the rest of the night.  I did not want to address the issues I had stuffed for 23 years.  I just want to run from them and you.
