I’ve thought a lot about my children recently, as I think just about every parent in America has. They are life itself, and my life specifically.
There were moments when I didn’t have much of an appetite, and other times when I went out of my way to cook because it was nice to have a mind-clearing task. And then, just before the long weekend, what I wanted was to gather up kids and family and friends and soak in the sun – a brief reprieve from the wider world, and one I’m lucky to be able to take.
