I was afforded the opportunity to spend a quiet morning with my dear friend, Alexus and her two baby girls. This moment took me back to my own experiences as a single father, enjoying the stillness of the morning with my daughter before venturing out into the chaos of the world. There was a tinderness in her interaction with her children that is seldom experienced outside of the comfort and safety of one's home. This same tenderness is something that I seek to carry with me in my everyday interactions with the world in the midst of situations that seek to steal my peace.
