This past Friday, November 13th, was World Kindness Day but as we all know kindness wasn’t what was felt across the world that day unfortunately.

Angel and Peanuts remembered in their half sleep to tell me “Happy Birthday” first thing in the morning but they also to my surprised remembered how we spent my birthday last year –…

Please take a moment to read this post this Friday afternoon. We want to thank everyone for all their help getting our fundraiser off the ground and spreading the word. But we need your help. We are not even 50% funded to get this book printed and have 18 days left. We know it…
