I write every day
because each piece reflects a memory in some way and because tomorrow isn’t
promised. Every memory is precious. [G1]

As a young boy, I
began my journey as a writer and teller of tales.
Words got trapped in my head looking for a way out and my grandmother told me
to write the words down that someday I would read those words (saved in a blue
notebook for decades) and know who I was, and who I was becoming. I read the
tales in that notebook when I was fifty-nine years old. My grandma long since
departed, but with me in every word I wrote then and now. Memories are a part
of all of us and should be kept so our children and generations of children to
come can get to know their ancestors in ways only personal writings can
describe.
I wrote my book
“Raw emotions” based on my memories of youth and adulthood touching on moments
frozen in time until released on my keyboard for all eternity. It was my
intention to have something I could leave behind, a part of me that time won’t
be able to forget. My great, great grandchildren will know who I was and what
my beliefs and emotions were as they read my words and get to know me as told
by me. All of us are remembered in some way when our journey is complete, I
hope my book serves as an invitation to my future family to understand where my
life took me and how I remembered it.
