The One With All the LEGO

Remember that time when I got called into the office and was given a $50 gift card for basically doing my job? If not, you can click here for the memory jog...

Spending Time

I spent some time with my grandmother today. And I know that will make my mother happy. But that's not why I did it. It's because I had some extra time in my day and was able to do so. It's because I know the hours she has left with us are precious and few. … Continue reading Spending Time
