On the outside, everything seemed right with my world. But on the inside, my mind started to wander. Sadly, it... Continue Reading →
Weekly, I drive past a place in the road where my son drove his first car off a 50 foot cliff. Thankfully that afternoon three years ago he survived that crash but his car did not.
