To My Youngest Son

When our son was a baby, we’d stuff him into his stroller in the evening and take a walk. Sometimes our walks were cut short buy a crabby, crying baby. Other times, we were allowed the luxury of a brisk pace, often arguing about whose turn it was to push the cumbersome Peg Perego stroller. [...]
