PURE LOVE
A dog’s love is unconditional…how many people can we say love us unconditionally and without judgement or something in return…

THE LOST DIARY OF JANE DOE:
Youth is symmetrical to innocence.
Therefore, hate is a simile of violence.

SNOW
I sit in a trance like state, remembering the flashbacks from my life. Remembering how I took life for granted. Remembering how I thought I had all the time in the world. Not knowing, that I did not.
Remembering that one day…it had such a significant hold on me and a tight hold on who I become later in life.
My mother…holding the shiny, silver shears in her hand. I remember thinking, “She does not appear sane.”
“Mommy, what’s the matter…” I asked.
“You have been a very bad girl, very bad indeed. Did you not know that I would find out.. did you not…I’m speaking to you, January…”
“Mommy, I do not know what you are talking about.” I whimpered.
“But you do. Yes you do, January.”
“But Mommy, I do not.”
A fast and sharp burn spread across my face. I had been hit.
Suddenly, I blacked out; not remembering what happened next…as I sat on the cold, expensive marble floor, gathering my golden curls into a pile on the floor.
Silently, I glanced up, seeing my reflection in the bathroom mirror… “I’m hideous!” I cried.

I Married a Psycho Series
“Bella are you packed…”
“Yes, Mama…Mama the phone is ringing.”
“Sweetie will you please grab it for me…I’m out on the porch.”
“Hello, Daddy. Why not… okay, I will go and get her.”
“Mama, it’s Daddy, he wants to talk to you.”
“Jack, when will you be home…Bella and I are ready and waiting for you. What do you mean you’re in Twin Pines…I thought you were at work and then coming home to pick us up…we are all supposed to go there together…as a mini vacation. Or did you forget!”
“Mama, don’t cry.”
“Hysterical…I’m not being hysterical. I can’t believe you went without us. How could you and what am I supposed to tell Bella, Jack!”
I looked over towards the doorway. All was silent now. My heart broke, as I watched my only daughter, as tears as big as crocodiles, spilled down her cheeks.

Always Remembering 911…
September 11, 2001. I remember the day as if it were yesterday. I remember walking into my house around 8:30 am, turning on the television, and watching in horror as the second airplane crashed into the Twin Towers.
The thing that struck me most odd that morning was watching the individual white sheets of paper flutter around the streets of New York, thousands and thousands of paper. I remembered thinking who had touched them, who had just recently stored them into the filing system, who was missing them? It was an eerie thought to wonder about these thousands of sheets of papers coming from the Twin Towers. I do not know why this particular image has stayed in my mind for all these years, but it has. Perhaps my mind needed to fixate onto something less horrific than watching a city fall apart to an awful bout of terrorism. The images we endured that day will forever be stuck in our minds.
September 11th is a very special and memorable day to my family and I because we named our second daughter after a Naval Contractor who had died on September 11th in the Pentagon. We named her Julian Cooper. She reminds us every year on 911 of the loss, we as individuals, families, and as a nation, had to endure on that fateful day fifteen years ago on September 11, 2001.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
