Sunday Post

This is my first Sunday Post in a month. I spent most of February helping my mom and siblings take care of my dad who was ill with recently diagnosed cancer. He passed away this week and the funeral will be next week. He was a wonderful man and at the moment I can’t imagine life without him.

The Queen of Hearts by Kimmery Martin

As Bright As Heaven by Susan Meissner

The Tuscan Child by Rhys Bowen
