Moonlit Night
Grief is painful; it's the most painful thing ever to experience. There isn't a timeline for processing the loss of someone you love; sometimes, the scars become rough scabs that cause discomfort, and others, they are wounds that fester endlessly. My grief is slow and torturous, taunting me as I lie in bed at night. The relentless images attacked my psyche, pounding the loss into me over and over. It was a constant reminder that she was gone forever. When things are too heavy, I turn my attention to the majestic tapestry of the night sky decorated with stars and the moon.

Until Next Time
Taken too soon by a tragedy, our fellow Vocal Creator Tom Bradbury passed away this week. Things haven't been the same since! Everyone is stricken with grief, sadness, and disbelief at the sudden turn of events. In the spirit of mourning, I've written a poem to honor his memory. Please enjoy.

Healthcare Hero
Being a caregiver runs in my blood. Going back to World War II in 1939, with my great grandmother Sarah Massey. She was a member of the American Army Nurse Corps (ANC for short). Her employment ran until 1945, after the war ended, but her journey wasn't over. A young, handsome German soldier named John Joseph Derscha was badly wounded with a bullet in his left thigh. She dutifully cared for him until he was fully recovered, fell deeply in love, and went back to America together. Since then, the women in my family have answered the call to the unpredictable profession of nursing. I'm no exception. While my dream job is to be a published author, my passion lies in my position in healthcare. Since March 12th, 2012, I have been a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA), dedicating my life to providing quality care to all individuals.
