I don't think I've ever believed what she did was easy. I can't even say it was her decision. 41 years ago (which happens to be coming up on me right away) things were much different. It might have been her decision but since she still a kid essentially (18) it could have been a choice that was made for Shayna Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469162206212528213noreply@blogger.com
