Reflecting on my life in Writer's Workshop has been interesting, difficult, enlightening, sad, happy, and all those other descriptive words teachers use to show writers there are other ways to say things. But I heard bad news this morning that made me remember a very dark and lonely time in my married life.

I read this a while ago but I wasn't signed in and therefore didn't comment.
