100 Days of Hope | Week One

Virtual Advent | My First Christmas
I enjoyed Bridget's Virtual Advent Christmas story and I thought, well... I have a sort of similar story to share. And although I do not remember any of this story, I have heard it told and re-told and re-told! Plus..I have the proof that it is true! I have a cousin,...
