Haiku: First light
Glowing sun sneaks up
Soon to fill the sky with light
Promised for each day
This Haiku honors a young boy who needs a cure. He is a strong boy and we continue to lift him up. His mother took this lovely picture one recent morning in Jacksonville, Florida. Thank you Melissa Cake for sharing this photo you took while walking the beach with Logan. There is a promise for a new day.

To travel is to live.”
