Strange Happenings

Ikey on a run with me. He is actually an amazing running buddy.

A Mother’s Love

I get this feeling every night as I sneak into my children’s room and tuck them in while they sleep.  I feel completely and totally vulnerable.  For some reason seeing my sleeping children remind me of how delicate they are, how easily they could slip from my fingers.  My hear suddenly fills with this feeling… Continue reading A Mother’s Love
