That was, until my husband came along, I found being who I really was was really freeing, and my husband fell in love with me for ME, not for someone who I was not.JLynnCorterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783644162317349748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587170240696647383.post-17058180634382981312017-03-22T10:12:28.003-04:002017-03-22T10:12:28.003-04:00This is perfect.
