My daughter has been to the ocean three times, once as a baby, once when we were extras in a movie on Cape Cod and once when we visited the Oregon coast.

Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever? But time keeps flowing like a river to the sea. Goodbye my love, maybe for forever. Goodbye my love, the tide waits for… Read more »
