I took a class on Zoom on December 30 and the goal was to write a one-page memoir or dedication to someone we lost. Our guide was Barbara Field, a writer and coach for people who want to tell their stories, just like me. It was a quick class, only 2 hours long. She gave us exercises to think about and at the end of the class, this is what I came up with. I wanted to share it here, in its mostly raw state, because it will remind me of what I remember of my father, 3 years later and also to keep writing my story even if I am the only witness to it. Writing is my joy and passion and I feel closest to myself when I am connected to a page, with or without a pen.
Happy New Year. I only wish people this today so consider my work done. Please click to read more!
