Voice breaks

Here I am starting a new blog. And here’s the reason; my son’s voice broke for the first time tonight. March 20th, 2012. Fourteen years old. For the last few months I’ve been waiting to start a new blog. I wrote my old blog, One Year of Opus, for 4 years. Four great years of writing STUFF. Life. Just life stuff. I had it put into a book a few months ago too. And when it arrived in the mail, I sat and read it for hours, All kinds of life facts. All kinds of things I would have forgotten had I not written it down. And tonight, I realized that moment in the kitchen, between eating Gillispie maple sausage from Newton, Kansas, and making gooey butter cookies, when my son’s voice broke for the first time, would disappear if I didn’t capture it, here on the page. So, I begin again.
