Blame me, shame me

Wish we would have known this when we purchased our first SUV while my husband was still active duty. We were paying around 12% on our vehicle loan and knew nothing of this. After finding out I contacted the creditor that held the loan and showed proof of…

Originally posted 2017-11-28 00:39:00. My husband took this picture of my biological father and I while I was talking to him, letting him know that I was there with him. The morning he passed away Dusty and I were getting ready to make the 2 hour (one-way) trip to see him. I was told he passed at 4:20 in the morning on November 14th 2017. At least he’s able to be with my grandparents and…
