Always Her Daughter

Always Her Daughter is a reflection of years spent caring for my family and others.

The leaves were blowing around my feet, and the wind whistled through the air, but despite the beautiful day my mom was so weak and ill, she could barely stand. I was at my wit’s end, feeling discouraged and like I don’t know what to do anymore.

In the next minute, I was thinking why are you complaining? Mom is going through so much, get it together and figure it out. It was on that very day that my mom said to me, “Honey you need to write a book, you can not make this stuff up.”

“This is a book everyone needs to have.”
