I was sitting in the waiting room at Children’s hospital waiting for my daughter to finish a test. I had about an hour to notice and observe my surroundings. Kids of all ages in wheelchairs, leg braces and helmets. Every parents greatest fear was suddenly everywhere around...
| We left the cabin yesterday before the sun came up to meet our chartered fishing boat about 75 minutes north on Lake Superior. Not surprisingly, this early morning, north woods venture was like driving through a deer obstacle course and praying not to hit one. As we were cruising along,... |
