A Little Girl Was Born

July 18, 2017July 10, 2017 / Frank Morelli / 9 Comments

At that point the family had rattled off a Joe DiMaggio-like streak of male children. Baseball cards and skinned knees and fist fights were regular, and somewhat welcomed, entities in our households. But you could tell a change was in the wind.
