Tonight, I had the pleasure of playing the role of tooth fairy.
After a long day of tears, uneasiness and not a lot being eaten, the darn thing finally came out.
Five dollars later, I am thinking in a melancholy way about my kids. They are no longer babies.
This makes me sad and it makes my arms ache. While it's a wonderful thing to watch them grow, and talk and walk and ask all sorts of questions, my heart also aches for the sadness and unfairness in the world that they are about to experience.
