      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      A Sobering Tale

      Jun 30, 2019

      ME?

      WHY I WRITE

      People ask me why I write,
