Demons
I guess an apology is in order to all my followers and those that sent me some fantastic messages on my board, I have intentionally stayed off my blog under docs orders as she felt I was delving into some unfinished memories that I was having difficulty processing. PTSD is real and life changing, I am slowly learning to file my bad memories away but until I'm whole I wont be very active. I have a number of new posts sitting in drafts nearly ready to publish. As for the messages I will try and respond to all of you I promise - Salute makkers.
