Jay, first let me say thank you for the opportunity to read your book. I will absolutely get to checking it out!
Secondly I think what’s beautiful about this piece you have shared is the way that that the desire to be seen has changed so much with time. Once it was your children who needed you to tell them you were proud of them and now that’s something you desire. I love it and I’m sure they are proud of their old parpsicle!
