My husband and I have been separated since April last year, but we have decided to maturely and peacefully co-parent our dear son, who means everything to us.
I wish it had worked, but it’s better to stay alive to tell the story. Please keep us in your prayers. Let’s learn to be kind to people, you have no idea what others are going through until they say it. SAY UNTO THE RIGHTEOUS ALL IS WELL. PEACE.”
