I am not religious, but one of the last things that Pope Francis did before he passed away was visit inmates at a Roman prison.

I lost my fur baby of nearly 20 years last week, and my dear friend had this made for me. Always remember that a little kindness can really lift someone’s spirits.

My dear friend bought her first place, and we had an argument about tablecloths. I told her they were tacky, she said they weren't. So as a housewarming gift I got her her first tablecloth: a shrine to me. 😂
