With a Beer in my Hand
Submitted by: Angela Ruiz, 27 I lost both of my biological parents when I was 9 years old. My dad was killed in a car accident, and my mom… wasn’t killed but, she wasn’t… here. I don’t know exactly when it happened, but she decided that she didn’t want to be a mom anymore. We... Continue Reading →
