I often shake my head, still in disbelief, They say time heals everything, but everything is not grief,” he continued. “Doing everything I can for our Jojo Binks. Over time, I often sit and think.

He continued: “If you’re reading this, no matter what you’re going through, be thankful that you’re still here on this ride. I know some days are harder to get up than others, but keep going, we just have to keep moving forward. 🫶.”
