teach me what love is all about.
Five Golden Rings:
For my big brother, Brooks, who always opened my Barbie dolls while I unwrapped his cars and soldiers.

And I didn't really mean to throw your blue St. Louis Cardinal baseball cap ou... (show all)t the car window on the highway. It just happened.
First words

"I don't believe in miracles," Karen said, looking at her sister-in-law with her lips pressed tightly together.
