I can’t Belize it has been 4 years

I say that as I am writing this from Belize. The main picture is about 20 minutes before my life changed forever. Our life. But I still have life 💚 I came here in December 2018, just 7 months after the day my life changed forever. I visited Caye Caulker on a cruise and knew […]
