Summer slow down

In appreciation of Erin
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
I can’t take credit for writing this – it was in a magazine – but it rang true so I wanted to share: “That he was able to calm me so well shows that the men we love, who love us, just seem to fit, filling in the attributes we lack and carrying our hopes [...]
