Thinking of you and your family, Asma. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bakersfield.
So sorry you're going through this, Asma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Keep going, Asma. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Asma. This could happen to any of us!
