This week I need to remember… I need to remember my girl with the wonky fringe… I need to remember the how angry and defiant she gets. Her frustration, her narky back talk, her eye-rolling and exasperated sighs. I need to remember how she crawls into my bed with a tear streaked face and curls [...]
