Time to Say Goodbye

By Gisele T. Siegmund

In this short story, Yessie was raised by her grandmother after her parents died in a plane crash.
Although she was raised in a loving environment, she felt that something was missing and consequently lost her way. Even though her grandmother forgave her for making mistakes in the past, she must now learn to forgive herself and let go of the guilt before it is too late.

Hi, I am from New York. I am an introvert, however I like to challenge myself (and go outside of my comfort zone). I have been writing for several years. I mainly write poetry, but have also written short works of fiction. I am a (non-practicing) licensed Funeral Director, and currently a teacher in a NYC public school. I grew up in a big family, and moved a lot during my younger years. I now have my own family, and love spending time with them.
