I found the box a few days before my birthday. It was tucked behind two old suitcases at the back of the closet. It wasn’t like I was snooping. I was decluttering, looking for the picnic blanket we only ever used twice a year. My son, Luke, needed it for his school’s evening picnic later […]

There are certain moments in a marriage when the ground doesn’t crack beneath you, but you swear it shifts. Quietly. Just enough for you to notice. It was a Tuesday. Ordinary in every way possible.
