Note to Self
notes
my mom wrote a book!
she's been writing and rewriting it for years, but there was never any doubt it would eventually come together through one of her many artistic pursuits.
the story of my parents beginning is one that has been told through the generations, but in pieces and parts, dripped like a stalactite over dinners, late nights and random musings.
now as an entire piece, i see a more colorful, fuller and meaningful story that fills in some meaningful gaps that make me appreciate both my parents in a new way.
