I have entered my 3 friends and me in this contest because we have just endured the worst week ever. Any parent will shutter when they read our story. They’ll light candles, cross their fingers, and shave their heads in order to prevent this from happening to them. It could have happened to anyone, but this time it happened to Sharon the Bloggerqueen … so she wrote about it.
Please God, Let me Win! Sharon@bloggerqueen.com
