I received my GED in 1976. I was able to graduate along with my son. When the children were older, they didn’t take up so much of my time. I started teaching myself how to paint. I would take pictures out of magazines and paint them. After a while I felt like I could show my own paintings. I sold quite a few but they were few and far between. When my sister had her book done, she asked if I would do her illustrations. I did and they turned out good. I never had any writing experience. I wanted to try my hand at it. It has taken me a long time on this book to do it like I did with my painting. I painted what I was seeing. With the book I would write what I was feeling. I wrote about my life as a child. I was hoping that some of the things I had to endure would help someone in the same situation. When they might feel the only option, they had to end it all. As time goes by you will be glad you didn’t take that wrong turn. I don’t sit around and blame what life has thrown at me. I am so glad that I was able to see my kids grow up, see my grand-kids and my great-grand-kids.
