Mountains To Conquer, And Those Already Scaled

June 16, 2020

When I woke up this morning and checked my WhatsApp messages, I was excited to see that I had something from Yehuda.

When I think about my first born son, I remember the days when he was first born, and the adorable froggy outfit that we borrowed from friends.
