Baby Shoes

Being on the road for March Break leaves me less time for writing. But no less desire. So I'll still take a few moments where I can, but lots of my sharing may end up being the words of others. 

Like today. I found this story a while ago. And although since then, I've learned it's more of a legend than a true story, it's still just as sad.

Legend says that Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a story in only 6 words and ended up writing what the people called, "The saddest story ever told."

It read:
"For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."
​
And yes. I'd have to agree. Ryan has a whole basket of baby shoes. Some were handed down by his older cousin. But some were new. And it breaks my heart that they hide in that closet unworn.
