I constantly remind my kids to appreciate their dad. If not for him, they would have to hire someone to help them with FAFSA’s, chauffeur us to visit them, and find someone to keep track of me. With my head in the clouds much of the time with my writing he’s learned to adapt in... Continue Reading →
