Nancy Mommy Naging SingleD

(This blog is dedicated to all the great women I have come to know. They were those who shared their own struggles and successes with me and I in turn, was blessed and inspired.

Until some commercial establishments were allowed to operate again, at unti-unti na rin tayong nakakalabas.
