For me, there are only happy memories of the Fourth of July. I can imagine the grill smoke wafting in the air as my family and I set up badminton in the backyard. I can hear rock-and-roll music blasting from my dad’s Fourth of July playlist, which attracts smiling neighbors from across the cul-de-sac. Perhaps, […]
