Life on Your Own

Sam hangs out the window of his new studio apartment in downtown Greenfield. 

There is no joy like seeing your young son move into his own apartment. It’s an exciting time for Sam, and in his face and his motions, you see hope, and pride that he managed to get this place, and talkativeness, the likes of which I am not used to. We went to the grocery store too, stocking up, and we made plans for dinner Sunday night, when he starts a new job down at a Candle distribution center. He is making his way, using a bike, walking distance to everything, and working the night shift, and getting used to living above a bakery in a small New England town.
