  • Father’s Day

    If there’s a day I would break, it was that day. The day my phone rang at 0419 and I knew. I got up and started my day in denial. I told the assistant principal I may have to leave and why, knowing that I was leaving but unwilling to admit the truth of it.…

  • Daring

    Fear is a great reason that many do not start. We fear that we may fail. Inevitably, we fail because we do not start. Every journey begins with a single step. It seems like such a simple concept. Life ultimately is simple. We have to dare to accomplish anything. Yet we fear and that fear…

  • Never understand

    There are many things I understand. And many things, I can explore to understand better. But there are some things, I will never understand and do not care to even research. I am a person that has always asked why. I asked this even when the why was not important and more significantly, not coming…
