I vividly remember the look of disappointment on my former vice president’s face when I ran into him about five years after I’d last seen him. Our sons were the same age, and he asked me how mine was doing and I asked him the same question. I probably had a similar disappointing face because […]

I can remember being in high school seeing girls getting flowers and stuffed animals at school on Valentine’s Day. In college, more of the same. My friends often got gifts and went on dates, but I didn’t. Sometimes it bothered me, but most Valentine’s Day it didn’t. I was a single mom and often didn’t […]
