“Passion is meaning, and it would be a hell of an empty life without it.”
PS: He’s had plenty of baths, So he shouldn’t be smelly. But for more of the story Contact Aunt Kelly. All my love, Junebug
Vilomah. I’ve never heard of this word before, but apparently, it’s what they call a parent who has lost a child. It means “against the natural order.”
