My Daughter Said What?

At 20, I could walk barefoot across gravel, dance all night and still make it to work the next morning without so much as a blister.

At 40? Let’s just say… things are different.

It snuck up on me... those rough patches, that dry edge that caught on socks, the silent “shh shh” when I walked across hardwood floors.
