Today is Daniel’s birthday. He is sixteen years old, yet for me he is also forever thirteen. Thirteen, the same age as my youngest. There are days when I look at her and I hurt as I remember Daniel’s pain as he battled through his thirteenth year. How would I tell her if she had … More 16 today, but forever 13.
I’m not sure if I’m alone in this, but over the years I’ve owned many cars. They have been many different colours and sizes, but not one comes close to the love I felt for my first car.
