Lonely Thursdays

The Day Everything Changed
One full year isolated from friends and loved ones. One full year out of work, out of school. One full year of faces hidden behind a collection of masks. One full year of life as we know it, thrown into complete disarray. Exactly a year ago when the world went into a standstill, locked down…

Half Year Bliss
Dear Juancho, When I knew I was having you, I was scared out of my wits. I did not know how to provide for another child. But now, I understand why God gave me you. You came at the point in my life when everything was dull and gray, full of tears and pain, when…

2014: New Year, New Life
