From the outside, this book looks pretty unassuming. But to my sister Arica and her friend, the title and the contents it will hold mean everything.
Arica’s dear friend is headed off to flight school and Arica is going to miss her terribly. When trying to come up with a good parting gift, Arica found this [...]
My uncle Gary asked me to make a journal for a co-worker of his…a gal that’s expecting her first baby around the same time as me, in fact!
