This post was originally intended for Man of the House, but it’s kind of personal and so I’d rather share it with you here.  It’s a bit off my usual focus here, but family is important… “Daddy, why don’t you and mommy live together anymore?” [Silence.] About a year ago, that question stopped me in my tracks.

Four Years Ago Today

Four years ago today, I woke up at about 7:00 a.m. to find Amy sitting straight up in bed, holding her cell phone.  The look on her face was distant and even a bit pained. I remember asking her, ”What’s up?  How do you feel?” She replied, “I think it might be time to go.” I’d [...]
