Not all of my Christmas gifts for Holli were ready by Christmas. It’s not entirely my fault; I had to make an awesome 2013 Christmas Card first. The final gift to arrive was a desktop calendar made up of photos from the past year of Holli, the kids, and myself. When it arrived, we gathered around as Ian announced every person in every photo. I stood, looking on with pride, holding Ainsley. Suddenly, she grew restless.
Automatically, I bent to set her down. Who am I to deny a young child the adventures of her fancy? In the process of being noble, however, I hadn’t noticed just how close I was to the furniture. I smashed my face into the back of Holli’s chair, bruising my nose, shattering my ego, and breaking my glasses.
We’ve all been there.
