Heavy
Grant, 6, woke up sobbing this evening. He came downstairs and I asked what was wrong. He said he was sad, because someday I will die. I remember doing this around age 10, with my parents. But in my case, I was concerned about myself dying, because I didn’t want to go to heaven. I […]

Frunks
Henry is developing characters for a graphic novel he wants to write. They are called frunks, and he has done a fantastic job so far. I love his art so much. The frunkeen is something he created and it’s going in the book somewhere, but he doesn’t know where yet. He also doesn’t know what […]
