The Waiting...
The Waiting...It's been a while since I submitted anything here. Noticed the name change and lots of other things as well as the new faces. It's very early in the morning, I've been up most of of a long and sleepless night waiting... You see, my wife is going to have cancer surgery again. Hopefully, the third time pays all.
