Love Letter to A
Dear A, Oh Sweet Girl, here I am rocking you gently to sleep like I do every day. The gentle creak of the rocker, as you sink deeper into my arms, your hand so gently resting on the skin of my chest. It’s been 10 months since my world completely changed by you entering it….

I Left A DREAM job for MY Dream Job.
