She had been quiet almost all day. She just looked at her phone and rode still in the car. I kept looking at my 13 year old daughter, Chloe, in the rear-view mirror when I thought she wasn’t looking. I was trying to keep my eye on her. Lately I’ve...
My voice broke. I clenched my jaw, looked down at the words I had written on the paper and then out at the audience. There they were. Two full rows of my friends. They had left the comforts of their warm homes and the company of their families on a...
