I saw her out of the corner of my eye as the truck made its ways down US 1. Her hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail. Her age was tough to call….late 30s ? She was wearing cutoffs and a pink top. She once was pretty. She once was the girl in high […]

She will always be 18 to me. I know it sounds trite or bogus. But it is my truth. I met her when she was 18. I see that girl inside the woman. The eyes are the same. The voice is the same. The style, personality, core beliefs, compassion and decency is the same. What […]
