And the truth is revealed
A volcano will erupt, what goes up must come down, the truth will set you free? It better…. Thursday at 4pm I received a phone call. R had attempted suicide. He took a knife, slit his wrist and then took a pair of scissors and cut his main artery in half. He very nearly died […]
