He called her “f*cking b*tch” as he shot her.

I was putting my son to bed and I decided to ask, “What’s the most important thing in the world?” Just to see what he would say. “I don’t know,” he says. So I switch up the question a bit. “What’s the most important thing to you?” Guys. He says, “Snuggling with you” 🥹😩😭

On Sunday we read the Gospel which says “Sell what you have and give to the poor.” My son gathered some of his toys, my wife and I gathered books, and we sold what we had. My son received the money and we went together to purchase a Christmas gift for the young boy he picked from our Angel Tree.
