Never

Never. Never. Never. Never. Never enough pictures. Never enough time. Never enough laughing. Never enough talking. Never enough memories. Never enough moments. Never enough hugs. Never enough. Never ever enough. As a parent of grown children, others understand. As the parent of a son in the Speci*l Forces, there is never, ever, ever, enough. Ever….

A Sneak Peek
