We play a game, leaning slightly on each other.  Rainbow shoes are the most awesome!  He slaps my character and takes my trophy.  Wish is the best of unicorns!  He laughs, I harumph. We keep playing, smiling.  Here, I made this ring!  He picks me up, throws me off a platform.   I am makingContinue reading “Love All Things”
