I just ran into my friend Kathleen at Target. I felt bad for acknowledging her, as she was busy in the beauty aisle, where no woman wants to be disturbed when she’s trying to decide between mascaras and eyeliners. It’s like when I am in the hair color aisle. I try to keep my eyes [...]

The hardest day of my life: I hadn’t been separated from Antonia and Jonah’s father for even a month when a horrible accident happened.
