It felt like no time had passed, but it was almost 8:00 a.m. and I needed to take Ellis to school. I had everything ready to go—his backpack, lunch, water bottle, keys, wallet, phone—but I was forgetting my most important accessory for leaving the house: sunglasses. I mean it. I’d rather not eat for a week than not have sunglasses. You see, Jesus loves me. I know this because he gave me blue eyes. Blue like the heavens above. And yes, you might get lost staring into my dreamy, water-hued eyeballs, but you should know that they only despise one thing: bright lights.
