We asked her great-granddaughter to move in with us after Emma and I had discussed the possibilities of getting the girl's life on a better track.

Emma agreed but sadly the girl would not do it and went off to a very destructive path.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000815937078399278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098515874635881752.post-48909994067733396172010-03-16T07:08:15.931-07:002010-03-16T07:08:15.931-07:00That's a lovely thing that you have done, and ...That's a lovely thing that you have done, and Miranda is a beautiful girl.
