My daughter Caity is 21 years old this week. It is a bittersweet birthday because my baby girl isn’t my baby girl anymore. I am so proud of the young woman she has become but as she grew up I regretted not being able to pick her up, wipe her tears and make the “small hurts” go away. Caity came
التقيت زوجتي في حفل زفاف أختي في سبتمبر 1995. كنت قد عرفت تام بأنه أفضل صديق لي قليلا الشقيقة ل 10 سنوات ولكن لم أكن أراها حقا مثل امرأة كانت قد تصبح حتى يومنا هذا في أواخر سبتمبر. I actually got to know her better because I was on wolf duty this day although it

After my mother married my stepfather, إرنست دياز, في 1981, he was looking for a way for us to spend time together. كنت التخييم مع الكشافة, so Dad decided that camping would be an effective way for us to get to know each other. A friend of Dad’s owned property and a cabin in Greenville, MO. نحن
