“My Facebook is my safe space a place where I can share what’s on my heart. I’m allowed to grieve my sister, Dolly, here.

“Oh and yes for those pointing out how im just as fat or saying I’m the next to go in the family just know I have chronic health problems and [mental] health issues and I take meds that cause me to gain weight and I’m working on getting the weight off.
