7I set out to take the confusion, hurts and joys from my life through my writings in my journal. That was my Goal As I proceeded through my journey, I knew the goal had a time limit. I wanted to complete it for my husband on our 50th Wedding Anniversary. As I started to write back in 2008, I lost both parents and my career.
