Why don’t you try my shoes on for a change

Happy 14th birthday to my son. Who will always be my baby. Fourteen years ago this week I experienced one of the most amazing events in my life. It was painful but also filled with awe, love, amazement, happiness, giddiness, and much more. And, I should note not […]
