A couple of years ago I wrote a short story and many wanted me to make it a series or complete it as a novel. About five months ago at age 86 I decided to give the novel a try. Writing a book for the first time was truly a challenge, but somehow I managed to get through it. When I saw the book 1 was overwhelmed with happiness.We will all have challenges during our life, but it's how we handle them, which will determine what our future holds. Life is what you make it
