My only brother, Darrell, passed away on December 25, 2021. Two months later, I started writing short stories, stories that can be read in one minute or under. It was writing that saved me from spiraling into a deep depression. Four months after Darrell passed away, my mom fell and broke her hip on April 2022. My inspiration for my nonfiction short stories come from being my 89 & 93 year old parents' caregiver. I am a writer + photographer + caregiver.
