down the road (excerpt)  

one of the hardest things to work through
was the feeling that i did not have
an independent purpose in life anymore
i had always loved to
work
and take care of my children

i looked forward to
finishing my book
painting my masterpiece
one day going back to college
getting my degree
teaching
and once the kids were busy with their own lives
i saw myself as an old silver haired lady
traveling to remote villages
and helping people

i did not realize how much this would all change . . . .
