About the Creator
Brandis G.
Writing has always been one of my passions. Photography is a close 2nd for me- living in Montana there is no shortage of photo ops! 3 cats & 1 dog make up my furry family. I lost my husband and love of my life 5 years ago to ALS.

"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"
