Life Update – Taking a Break From Work, Going Back To School, and Other Writing

Hi all – and happy fall! I have been noticeably absent as of late, and I know it was only recently that I promised I was back and back for good, but life got in the way, as it always has a tendency to do. So, today, I am officially back and I hope for…

On Saturday, when my mom shook me awake, I didn’t have time to think, it was fight or flight, and I flew down the stairs before she finished saying that he had fallen. I don’t remember which stairs I skipped with my too long legs, or which ones groaned underneath my too big feet. As…
