The door opens and it’s my best friend Michael. “Hey” I say quietly. “What’s going on?” Michael asks. “Not much, just relaxing.” “Oh…

Flying Words Older sister can be a pain. Maybe they say the same thing about younger sisters, but I don’t agree. Many memories of growing up with my sisters, who are now my best friends, live in the house at 515 Adams Street. Each time I sit at my piano to play whatever song is floating in my head, I think of the day of the flying words.

I watch the evening glow reflection as it radiates off of the small fountain in the middle of the pond. The melody created by the trickle of water is synchronized with the beat of my heart, each drop brings the realization closer that this will promptly morph into a fazed recollection.

I inhale a single, prolonged breath, filling my lungs with pure and…

Homely: being something familiar with which a person is comfortable and at ease. Comfortable is how I truly felt, I savored the last few bites of pie and slumping back in a recliner with my Nana and Lorraine that was the most incomparable moment in my young life. I felt more at home with those two wonderful women then I did with anyone or at any place.
