Swim • an Unholy Baptism

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality

When I was a kid, my father, a builder, came home from work early, almost straight after we got home from school. When he finished putting away his wooden ruler, his mitre box and his hammers, he bundled us into the car. My brother and I wore faded swimmers and carried our towels. Our beach… Read More
