SANDI SHILHANEK | WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
Sundays with Sandi / October 11, 2009

This last week my seventeen year old high school senior finished the first six weeks of school. I can remember quite clearly when I found out I was pregnant with him, and now he’s preparing to graduate from high school at Christmas.

I don’t recall the teacher’s name, but do recall having to hurry home to ask for my own personal copies of these books.
