Momma, I am not saying you don&#8217;t hurt because I surely know you are and I surely know your pain is much worse than mine ever could be. There was times which I prayed to carry my mother&#8217;s pain, just so she could be relieved from her&#8217;s; because I spent allot of precious time with her, before I ended up in this truck with my husband.
