Primary Caregiver

After months of refusing to give her the IV treatment she needed and not doing an efficent job with her healthcare needs, she died.

Bye-Bye Ebay I'm out of here! I use to be a big fan of Ebay. I've had an account with them for a very very long time but moving forward I've decided to walk away from their platform.
