The Saddest Part of Getting Old and Growing Up

on February 28, 2017 at 12:04 pm ×

My baby turns 13 this week and I’m remembering less and less of the days that comprise those remarkable years. This is a little something about the memories we learn to hold on to and the ones we’re helpless to watch fade away. To hear me tell it now you’d […]
