When he’s finished piecing together his many musings, his eyes light up, and he zooms across the room. He sprawls …
As I gaze into my son’s sleepy eyes, the rest of the world melts away. He has a smile that makes everything okay. He’s not shy with his smiles; he knows how to bat his eyes, smile, and wave his arms to get everyone’s attention. But I’ll never grow tired of his smile; its magic …
