Marked for Life?
Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.~ Robert H. Schuller
She’d never considered getting a tattoo before. As old lady Mildred sat on the park bench and studied those that were etched on the young woman’s wrists and neck, she inquired of Moxie what one of the tattoo symbols meant.
