Unit 25
It was the back door. The way you had to twist the knob halfway to the right, then pull, then twist it again in order for everything to click into place when you locked it. Getting that down was part of making the place feel like home. Like you belonged. Because you knew the trick. Continue reading

It Had Been a While
I’ve been to quite a few weddings. I’ve also been in quite a few weddings.

From One to Ninety (And Beyond)
It was 12:30 p.m. and I was sitting at a table, breaking a cookie into a bite-sized pieces as I sang happy birthday to the man of the hour. With big eyes, he looked out at all of us, not sure what to think or what to do. His mom held a candle in her Continue reading
