These are various stories from my thoughts, experiences
and observations that I want to share.
A Man in a White Hoodie
January 10, 2023
​
I was driving down the street the other day, and turned into a restaurant drive-through to get a sandwich. Just before I got to the driveway, a man standing on the opposite side of the street in a white hoodie started walking toward my car. He was saying something to me but I panicked. I immediately locked my doors and pretended not to see him. But I could hear him saying, “Hey, Ma’am,” but I ignored him and turned into the drive-through.

April 18, 2022
​
Sitting in my chair looking through the jar of tears that have been collected over the years… trying to remember the moments, the laughter, the pain, the struggles, stopping to hold each one like a child holding her first cuddly toy.
Huge drops pour from my eyes and fall into the jar without splashing on the dusty table.
