I Could Eat Her Up

Ever since The Boss and I left for L.A., Little BFF has been the only one of my cousins’ four kids who really understands what it means when someone moves away. She gets that I live in another state, which happens to be a four hour plane ride away, whereas the others know I’m in [...]
