Shsh…It’s our secret ~ Vandana Bhasin #writephoto
It’s been ten days; I think. I am now longing for the comfort of my room, for the scrumptious meal cooked by mom, and more than anything, for her warm hugs. I wonder if she’s feeling the same. Would mom … Continue reading
Wicker ~ Diana Wallace Peach #writephoto
copyright Sue Vincent My mother despised the wicker witches on the neighbor’s farm. She made the sign of the cross when we scurried by on the straight and narrow path to church. Evil things. Satan’s work. She wrenched me by … Continue reading
