I stand there on the sidewalk just outside our car. School is over and I’m waiting for you. I see you just around the corner. You catch sight of me and start running. I just stand there, watching you…waiting for you. In my eyes, you are but one. You have a ready and contagious smile….
Small Moment Monday…yes, I know it is Thursday
I sometimes find myself a bit tardy, but three days? Now that is kind of pushing it. I was over at Nichole’s from In These Small Moments on Monday. In my flu induced stupor, I forgot to tell you about it. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve been hit this hard by the flu in years. Luckily,…
