One clear and peaceful Autumn morning on my way to work I stopped at the final red light before turning into the parking lot. Tapping my fingers on the steering wheel I looked at the car beside me as my scattered thoughts swirled around in my head sorting out the velocity of life.

It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye!

It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye!

Here is a poem I wrote about my kids during my divorce…

I see it every day and I say it’s only living
