Yesterday was Alexa’s last day of school. It was a bittersweet day that Alexa both looked forward to and dreaded.
When Alexa’s Dad died 2 years ago she wrote and read a tribute at his funeral, a good-bye letter if you will. In her letter she said that she feared the big days ahead, like graduation [...]
