Window on the World Column | Fit for a King

Lucy Jensen
ā€œYours is the last dad,ā€ she stated emphatically. Yes. All my friends’ dads have passed away. Of our generation, there is one mother and one father remaining on the planet and then we will be the top generation. That is a rather sobering thought. On...

Window on the World Column | Find Your Passion
