Dear Anita

My parents hate broken glass they say it is disrespecting where you live and harms wildlife. 😥 I love being bare feet especially because I am a gymnast. I go outside on walks with my daddy in my bare feet and even jump in puddles making a cute splash. I wish the world was more barefoot friendly. The soles of a child's bare feet is a sign of innocence in my opinion.

Love Gymnast Lover Millie
