The Treasure of You
“Now I know that you’ll always be where I go.” –Plus One, Forever
A bartender at the restaurant where I work said to me this week, “Jen, if you could make out with ANY guy in the WHOLE world, who’d it be?” I just looked at him and started cracking up.

This girl (now 6 years old) damaged her cornea so badly by poking herself in the eye, that they sewed her eye shut in a desperate attempt to save her eye.
