Sometimes Things Have to Be Written

When it comes to someone dying, I have a hard time talking about it but writing it, that I can do. Since last week I have been thinking a lot about my grandmother who passed away on Tuesday. You always think you should never be taken for granted that someone would be there forever but [...]

Thanksgiving Memories

The following is dedicated to my grandmother…

Confessions of a Former Sandwich Artist

My Life 8/22/05
