I mean it’s a white couch, we needed something between her and it. Also Peggy likes her comforts!
oh she definitely understands that I’d be lost without her
certainly none that Peggy remembers
she understands her place in this family (the emotional center)
Peggy always makes sure Peggy has a good day
it makes me so happy to give Peggy the life she deserves
taking a moment to appreciate how it was an HBCU that took in those 7 Korean men when the white universities wouldn’t

The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.
I am a pacifist but I volunteer
