I was scanning my wife’s notes and going through other stuff when an old note that is “A Nurse’s Prayer” caught my attention.

This is Not My Wife

This article is a filler, I will admit. It’s an article I promised to Kai (a fellow blogger) for how many days now but still failed to do so until up to the time this article hits its final period. It’s something about my past. It’s something I’ve long been keeping in my picture folders [...]
