The single mother

I have always held the opinion that church is a good place to find a partner. I have never believed that you will meet angels there but I have always considered it as a fair ground to start. I have always had an appreciation of church girls, mostly because of how smart, calm and composed

Killed by distance—tales of a relationship with an immigrant worker
