swell.

“What’s your name?” “Hadley.” “Oh! I like your name.” “Thanks. No one has ever really liked my name before. Everyone makes fun of my last name.” “They do? I’d never make fun your name.” “Thanks. You wanna play?” “Yeah!” ******** I told you on the way home how proud I was of you. I’m writingContinue reading “swell.”

maddie day.

One year ago I was in Kansas City living a out a fantasy in the halls of Hallmark world headquarters while Heather was back in a hospital with Maddie. It wasn’t fair.
