All posts by Katie Fox. Sometimes, my heart cannot hold it all. May 3, 2015. You walk back and forth across the room, over and over. Between my arms and Lauren’s, you cross the space between us again and again, as she and Bud watch your feet, your legs, your knees. 8220;Keep going,” Lauren encourages you. “Back to Mom, okay?
