My daughter took this picture of me. I love finding unexpected things like this. I'm watching the world burn behind these glasses, or i see my son acting like a goof. Or maybe all of these things are happening at once.
All the tears! What book made you cry? I feel like someone should have warned me ahead of time. Where the Red Fern grows also got me as a youngster.
