Then you must teach my daughter this same lesson.

A brilliant wonderful sunny day at the beach. It was our first 'official' beach day of the season. One of those days that the salt water air replenished your soul.

In all of that soul replenishing, I neglected to put on sun screen. I do this the first trip out each year. One would think I would learn. Maybe next year.

"Then you must teach my daughter this same lesson. How to lose your innocence but not your hope. How to laugh forever."
