5:53 am
disappeared that going into the potato seller. much to the disappointment, the guide contents of the central question. where all the loved ones, none of the older generation, you live to you. people who might still have important information on presence. or you do the sofa. so when you had 3 c o who is guiding, the group was taken away from his mother and forcibly adopted by colonial digney. died as a child. but he's too young to know anything that can help one and his relatives. that frustrated. right. i think this amazing is never seem to be on. it would be good to have the support of the people who still live here, including the older ones who were still here as if you don't want it on the box, right. as i've said before, the truth is liberating. profit helps. it would reassure us better. we'll figure
