Memories of Twenty Years Ago
Twenty years ago, a drive to the hospital in the morning. Twenty years ago, calling off work because it was time, the baby was on his way. Twenty years ago, bright sunny skies over Buffalo. Twenty years ago, a very … Continue reading
On Mom’s birthday…
…something she liked. I’ll never forget watching this with her as it unfolded, more than 36 years ago.
