Does an hour go by. On any given day. That she doesn’t show me her wounds? A cut. A scrape. A tummy ache. Needing me to stop and take some time to. Ask questions? Learn? Listen? Knowing…. The wounds that can’t be seen are those most great of all. The one’s that band-aides will never heal….those […]
