For My Girl
Seven reasons why I’m secretly overjoyed when my daughter promises to live with me forever, one day late.

Running With The Kid
It’s funny how kids are exactly like adults and want to quit anytime something starts to hurt. Be it running or math homework or learning how to draw an ‘S’. They will distract. They will find urgent things that must be discussed. They will fight with you.
