🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 36Title: I just want to protect their innocenceDescription:It’s evening. We’re at the theater watching How to Train Your Dragon 2—and my three-year-old, Noah, taps my arm and says, “Dad, I’m scared. I want to go home.” So we leave. Just like that. The whole car ride, I’m undone by how innocent he is, and how beautiful that is. I don’t want to miss it. I don’t want to lose it.
