HANNAH’S POV:
THE NEXT DAY:

Yesterday was so much fun, I couldn’t even describe it. I never knew how much I missed spending with my children until I actually did. Amelia looked like she wasn’t about to give me hypertension a few days ago, she was so much healthier and she was growing and I was so happy.
