The Blink of an Eye
I’m feeling quite melancholy today. My oldest leaves 8th grade today. Next stop High School. How? It seems like it was just a few years ago that I held the most amazingly beautiful newborn baby boy in my arms. I helped him learn to walk and talk. I kissed his boo-boos and made sure he …
