I called my mom twice while reading this book. The first was just incoherent sobs & she said, “I wondered when you would get to that part.” The second was a couple hours later when I finished, still sobbing, but in a different way. This book will truly touch your soul in so many ways.

I decided to check my immunity levels before traveling to the upcoming #TXLA25 later this month.
Apparently, if your original vaccination is old enough to rent a car, it can mean that your immunity levels are very low to nonexistent! Thankfully I am able to get revaccinated before traveling.
