• Did You Hear What I Just Heard?

  Christmas is coming. And it’s getting noisy. Walking into stores of any kind, there’s a crescendo of sound that always seems to accompany Christmas. Kids loudly pointing out what they want.

• Let ‘Em Eat Cake

  “Is it time to sing the birthday song and eat cake?” Isley had meticulously placed candles on her Aunt Melody’s cake.  She’d helped me light them, guiding my hand with the matches. Only a few burned fingers. All mine. The only thing on Isley’s fingers was frosting. We stood around my daughter, home for a…
