I found I enjoyed writing after my son asked me to write down some stories. That I told him when he was little. My husband and I have taken in my cousins twins to raise after her death. I have found writing keeps me grounded. Two teenagers will cause you to look for numerous ways to keep your sanity. Growing up in the hollows of West Virginia, setting on the porch. Listening to the stories told by my Grandmothers and Aunts. On special occasions my Father would tell ghost stories. Just thinking of them can still cause my hair to stand up. I want to leave those memories to the ones who follow after me.
