My book


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

     Mike



     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.
