Hidden
It is early morning and I have been up for some time already. I have some things planned today. I sit here and reflect on my past week. A new class, children in my world that need my care and help. Diapers, lots of diapers. Lots of poop and lots of time taken to change […]

Simple
I am not much. I do not have much. I have very little material things, because I just do not want them. I do not want stuff. I also do not have money to spend on things that do not matter. I sit alone in my simpleness. I do not have money to offer others. […]

She was a fighter, she was the original fighter. She was the strongest woman I have ever met. Her personality was strong and tenacious and she left […]
