Riding home today after a long, cold day at school Ram was trying so hard to talk with me. He struggles yo find a word, stops, and then…

Ram: Mem, no read, no write, had to work. No speak no English. Sad sometimes, sad.

Me: no words

Ram: it’s ok Mem (big smile in the rear view mirror)

Me: Ram, where is your coat? It’s freezing!

Ram: in back, you need?

Me: no, you need!

Sigh…… I think we need an ice cream. I know I need something… these moments get the best of me, but I wouldn’t trade them for anything!
