This statue stands outside of Fenway Baseball Park in Boston, MA. It tells a story to all who see it. It strikes a chord in the hearts of every parent. Children look up to us. We are their role models. They want to walk in our footsteps. They want to be us when they grow up. Continue reading →

The colors were chosen, the crayons were held by fat little fingers, the idea began to spread from his mind to the paper, and the  picture came to life on a plain piece of paper and slowly but surely there became a rainbow. Continue reading →
