Buy Gliding with GlistenThis memoir is a remarkable compilation of prose, poetry, and a plethora of precious photographs. It tells my story and it is meant to be an encouragement for all people who struggle with visual disabilities and low vision as well as those who are smaller than most through premature birth or heredity. The font used is best for folks with challenged vision.
Over the past several years, I have been able to gather photographs of my parents and their families. Many photos have already been passed onto our children and grandchildren. However, many remaining snapshots are included here to assist in telling my tale.
I have recalled stories and information to the best of my memory as both of my parents and their families have passed away. If I have made errors or misrepresentations, I apologize and hope you may gather inspiration from my trek through time.
