Missteps

DAILY SNACK

It was the kind of cry that rips right through you. His arms were outstretched and the tears ran freely. I scooped him up and we ducked into the doorway, out of the wind. Kiss those tears away. “It’s okay. It’s okay.” “I jumped once, Mommy, and it didn’t hurt. I jumped again and it really hurt.”
