That Place Between Sleep and Awake
My nephew Adam would have been eight years old today. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I can see him again and that he is never far from me. Soon after his passing, my dad gave us all his beautiful calligraphy version of the quote, “You know that place between sleep and awake, …
