Childhood happened like a blur‚ some instances standing out more than others.

I love storytime. Since I was a young girl‚ before I went to sleep every night I would ask my father to tell me a story. I would crawl into my bright pink sheets and my eyes would eagerly peak from underneath them as I waited for my father to take a seat on the side of the bed.
