Oh Tiffany...brokenness starts at such an early age. I'm sure it's so discouraging to witness firsthand and not be able to do a whole lot about it. You're a champion Tiffany Blaser. Way to be something solid in a place where there's so much uncertainty.

Miss you my friend!

You're in my prayers. Honestly!
