Truer words have never been spoken.
I look at these photographs of my son and am convinced that I am in the midst of the good old days, with many more good old days to come.

Nichole Bernier reminds one (in finely-wrought, clear, solid, turn-the-page prose) that in motherhood, in friendship, in marriage, there are no easy answers. None of us have one side--we are instead faceted prisms, showing a side here, a side ther...
