I love to write stories. For many years I have done this. I felt very blessed to have the parents that God gave me. Even though I was an only child, I was not spoiled. My parents taught me many things at an early age. They did this because they cared. They passed away early and I worked to be able to understand many things in life. I wanted this title, "Slide of Memories," like an old slide projector that can show pictures. A tribute to my parents!
