Tomorrow is a new day
Tomorrow is a new day Sherri T.Perhaps for the first time in history, the world is joined by a common dream for the future: being able to hug our dear family and friends. We long for the day when getting together means being present in the same room. When we can be...

by Sherri T.
These are the wise words of Beth, mother of WOOM reader John. Good for you, Beth. Tell it like it is. Anyone who has tried to coax toothpaste back in the tube knows the problem. How much more visually and verbally direct can you get?
