It caught her by surprise.
Just yesterday, she was the nucleus of the family. They’d gather from afar for holidays, united by childhood memories, eager to share their new lives. Today, those cherished traditions are folding into new traditions for new families.
Life moves on—as, of course, it should.
A prolific writer, Carol Reeves is loving the freedom and challenges of 50-word stories. Her memoir, “All the Little Miracles,” was published last year. She often writes of the privilege and vicissitudes of aging, a subject she knows well.
Bit boring.
Startling and on the dime. Such good writing. Thank you.
I much appreciate your kind words, Deborah (especially after the first comment). I try to capture the complex emotions of aging with simple truths—all in 50 word stories.
Loved Story. Carol is a wonderful writer and always comes up with a story the older generation can relate to!
Thank you Suzanne.
