I’ve been working on this one for a few days. I know that’s really sad but life is good and I’ve been very present in it lately. Sometimes that takes me away from writing and that’s okay. ☺ Mr. Emmett turned thirteen years old this weekend. He’s had a really good birthday, albeit a bit …

There are days that arrive and bring with them a profound sense of consternation. For me personally, today was one of those rare days in my life. There are many reasons why today has so much meaning but I want to focus on the single, most important one. On January 18, 2000 at 10:52 AM, …
