I love Christmas. Unabashedly. I love this day in part because I get to see joy on the faces of others. And, that in turn warms my stomach and makes my heart beat with joy. Right now my son is playing his new harmonica nonstop. Luckily, I have […]
‘Tis the season to be jolly. I love this time of the year. Perhaps even more than my son. Perhaps. Not sure about that. I want him to experience the joy of receiving gifts small and large. I want him to experience the joy of singing Christmas songs […]
Last night my son and I were talking about how school went. A normal part of our evening conversation. He talked about his quizzes and his upcoming field trip. Or rather, a very broad review of his upcoming school trip. He had no idea where he was going […]
