grandmai's profile

I don’t have a recent photo of just me, so I have chosen to use a photo of my husband and me from last December. I am 57 years old…a wife, mother, and grandmother. I retired in 2000 after 24 years as a grocery checker. I have been married for over 38 years to my high school sweetheart.

I have lived a life filled with good and bad happenings. I have never been very good at expressing the feelings that have come with all those experiences, especially verbally. I have always used writing to make that expression easier. The only things that I have had published are some letters to the editor, to our local newspaper, and one to People Magazine. After the murder of my youngest son I attempted to write a book. I wrote quite a bit but the part dealing with the day of his death was just too hard for me. It has been 13 years now, and it is still hard, but I have been writing of that day on my blog.

I found this group and I will watch and learn some before posting my blog here. I have always wanted to write professionally but never had the courage or the faith in myself to try….so perhaps the time has come to try it out and get some feedback from others!!!
