Twice in a lifetime The definition of singular according to the dictionary is “The grammatical form that refers to only one thing”. So a singular experience should be something that happens once. There are so many things that happen repeatedly but when a unique devastating event happens you only expect it once. But sometimes it doesn’t work like that, sometimes bad things happen twice. It was like any other Monday, October 18th. The wind whistled outside and the colorful leaves covered the…

Over the next couple of weeks, our life together remained peaceful and happy. David seemed better and I believed he, like myself, was adjusting. It was now mid-September, and we were gearing up for our trip to Europe. I had discussed the trip with Dr. Rossi, and she gave me her blessing to go. We were flying out on October 10th. We would be visiting England, Italy and France. I still had morning sickness, but it didn’t last for long. I felt sick when I got up and within an hour or less I felt…

I value what my parents think of me over what anyone else thinks so I try my best to make them proud. ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬I have been shaped into who I…

“I was born,” Miss Gilly said, reaching for a tin of snuff. She took a pinch between her forefinger and thumb and placed it between her bottom lip and gums. She had no teeth that I could see. “I know that probably sounds kind a silly to you,” she said. “But I remember hearing that at the beginning of the story Melanie Wilkes was reading aloud on that picture show, Gone with the Wind.

When I was a young child, growing up was different from most kids around me, I definitely didn’t have it easy, but then again no one does. Being the first child confused my parents, they didn’t know what they should or shouldn’t let me do. This influenced my parents to not let me have as much freedom as most kids around me.
