Makes us understand the misunderstandings and also the very intriguing life of the people behind the scenes. I want to read more about them-less about the family to be honest! Sounds exiting! :)
What a delight of an episode! i admire this author because he does not toss out blame, it is more of the oppositr, making it clear the happenings and it is not all about two people. A very kind voice in a sea of mean people❤️
A beautiful service and a nice way to honor his public and private lives.
