I am currently loving Scenes from a marriage on HBO max and if you haven’t guessed I am also watching the GOT reruns!…
Last week one of my close friend lost her brother to Cancer. After two years since he was first diagnosed with the unforgiving disease he bid his loved ones a final goodbye. A brother, a son to her mother, a father to his young son, a husband to his wife is finally at peace.
