His eyes welled with tears, and his bottom lip quivered. “I’m scared, Mama,” he cried, as we made our way around the ball fields in search of Field #5. It was an early Spring day, and both kids were playing ball. Though they’d been practicing, these were their first...

This load is too heavy for her. The bag is filled with all manner of things—stuffed to the brim with items we might need during our travel home. I want to help her carry it. I offer numerous times. But she’s four. And she’s determined. The load is too heavy, and...

I watched the kids chase fireflies tonight. The house is a mess. We’ve had a few very full, very hectic weeks and our home reflects it. There are clean clothes piled on the chair in our room. Dirty clothes are spilling over the sides of the laundry baskets. The...

She woke up crying a few minutes ago. I picked her up and haven’t put her back down. I probably should. But I won’t…at least not yet. There are dishes still in the sink. A load of laundry still sits in the dryer from earlier today, wrinkling as I type. I still need to...
