Springtime in my heart again…

One of my best friends here has two daughters: one of them just turned 10 and the other is 8 and a half. The 10-year-old has recently started running on a girls’ team and the younger one has just started playing soccer.  A few nights ago, I was having dinner with them and the olderContinue reading
