What Am I Waiting For?

Hangin’ Out in the Fire

To My Children

I think of you… All day… every day… You are such an integral part of my life. I can’t not think about you. I am always telling someone How cool you are, How beautiful you are, How imaginative and unique you are. I tell them stories about our time together— Conversations we’ve had, Things we’ve […]
