I watched him stumble up the street, scuffing his shoes as he walked, head down. “What’s wrong?” were the first words out of my mouth. “Nothing,” he muttered.

The downside of perfect and what to do differently
Her kid’s parties were amazing. Each year I was blown away by the attention she gave to every detail.
