At this point in my life, I am first a mom. As you read this story, you may think I love our daughter the most because this story is about her, but I have a loving husband and we also have a son whom we love as immeasurably. Moms with more spectacular lives still say that loving their children is most important.
Down on the list yet close to the top, I love writing. I am a writer only in that I have a story to tell. By profession, I taught young children to read and taught older children in trouble, helped them get out of high school. By profession and in my personal life, I have been a problem solver. I have not been a writer by profession. My personal life has made me a writer.
Forgive my fragmented sentences, terms not well explained, the parts that may fumble along, as I fumbled along in the complex matrix of life. You will get to know me as a wife and a mother, as an observer, as a person who watches and thinks and makes sense of this world. I'm not sure if my gravestone one day will say, "I Tried" or "Good Enough," but either will do and in this piece, too. As you read this story, stay with me.показать меньше
