  • Our Very Last Trip

    I knew this was going to be my last trip with Laura the moment we boarded the plane.  The way she kept trying to check social media, to check the news until the very last second didn’t bode well for the rest of the trip.  All I wanted to do was to talk about all…

  • Back to the Farm

    “When are we going back to the farm? When can I see Folgers again? Does he miss me? Will he remember me?” Zach went on and on with his endless questions. Part of me wanted him to stop asking so many questions, but I also knew I would miss his questions.  “Zach, you know when…

  • The Ranch

    As soon as Clayton grabbed my hand, I knew what I had to do. I needed to run and run fast. Clayton should be able to keep up and I knew I couldn’t waste breath and time waiting for him. If Marcus caught up with us, it’d all be over.  Clayton and I had come…

  • Paris Vacation

    “It sounds incredible,” I said as I contemplated how hard I could bang my head against the wall and not get a bruise.  “It was the most amazing trip I had ever been on.  I so wish you had been there with us.”  Ellie prattled on about her most recent vacation to France while I…

  • Vacation Shock

    I saw Tim’s leg start to twitch thirty minutes into the meeting.  I knew it was a struggle for him to even be at work today and the fact our meeting was  over information that could have been covered in an email was not helping.  We all knew Tim was hurting and we were all wondering why our boss was so adamant he come back to work for another useless meeting. …

  • Tropical Island

    “I am going on vacation,” he said.  “I don’t care what I have to do to get there, but I am definitely going.”  James turned back to his computer and started looking again through pictures of Bali.  He had been talking of Bali for years and was now so fed up with our boss that he…
