Hold My Hand

I remember so many things my kids and my nieces and nephews said. They are funny little quips that fit the moment. When Our nephew Dillon was a toddler, he was so creative, smart, and funny. When he wanted to hold your hand he would say (with a funny little British accent that we don't… Continue reading Hold My Hand

It’s A Wrap

Photo by Maria Verkhoturtseva on Pexels.com When we were growing up, my brother would wrap all the Christmas gifts. He took a painstaking effort to make each one special. Before we ripped right into the gift he would say, “Stop, notice the wrapping!” We stopped in mid-air and looked adoringly at the box and would… Continue reading It’s A Wrap
