Faster than you think

by Hannahupdated on May 12, 2022May 11, 2022Leave a Comment on Faster than you think

My Parents My parents practice a cool strategy sometimes when my mom’s feet freeze from Parkinson’s disease. The first time I saw it, I doubted it would work. My dad stands in front of mom, holds her hands, and then proceeds to walk backward. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all, sometimes it works slowly, and …

Who was your Kindergarten teacher? 2nd grade? Middle school math? High school English? I bet you can tell me if you are 25. I bet you can tell me if you are 55, or 75, and every age in between. Teachers are heroes. Teachers change lives. Teachers go above and beyond. Teachers sacrifice their own …

by Hannahupdated on January 29, 2022January 29, 2022Leave a Comment on Cousins Are Childhood Magic

As I get older and life changes and I feel increasingly sentimental, my mind stops me sometimes in the middle of what I’m doing and gives me a slideshow of memories from my childhood. So many of them are filled with my cousins. When my granddaddy on my mom’s side passed away in 2011, he …
