Past Posts: I Hate Christmas Letters
I hate Christmas letters. People who you’ve lost touch with send out these letters with all of their family’s accomplishments and the exotic places they have traveled to. I seem to be left with a feeling of “I’m boring.” One of the reasons why I have such a distaste for those types of letters is […]
Birthday Breakfast

Dishes and Doors
Dear Oldest Son and Oldest Daughter, I just want you to know that when you left tonight to go back to college and I didn’t walk you out to the car, it’s my way of hiding. Hiding from strong emotions. I gave you a big hug and kiss, but went right back to washing the […]
