For many years I’ve had family & friends to encourage me to write a book. I’m open to it but it would be a memoir or short stories about my life. But this question, “How did it all start for you?” sparked a flame. Normally I’d say I started writing for safety, comfort, and healing. But, it’s bigger than that and I’m just now realizing it. I write to keep my mom’s life alive. What is something that you do to show appreciation to those who are no longer physically in your life?
