If the Walls Could Speak
It's a beautiful, clear spring day, and soon the cherry blossoms will fall from the trees and blanket the ground like snow. This season promises to be extraordinary, but it won't be the same without Da, who passed away at Christmastime. Finn O'Brine stares out the window, taking it all in.
