I remember...

 When things used to be simple. They would visit every Tuesday. I would miss them ,the kids would fill up the house with noise  and excitement. Then we got custody and the world changed.  I learned how to share. I learned how to teach. I  and others learned how to dream big for them. We all watched them grow experiment and change

A Date with Modern Art

A Date With Modern Art [BILL and ANNA have been at the modern art exhibit for just under an hour.   They are classmates who were assigned to critique the positive aspects of a particular sculpture for an Art 101 class.] BILL Why exactly do we have to do this again?

Emilee would have squeezed my hand lovingly and talked about the beauty of the countryside.”             “Well, Noah…They all can not be your Emilee. She was one of a kind. What’s next?
