I love all of your poems. Thanks for sharing. My Dad has gone through two rounds of chemotherapy. It’s not easy at all.

They're so good! And it's good inspiration for me because I'm currently working on my "Where I'm From" poem for Alyson's Instagram Live. xo

Oh Maureen, I love every single one of them. You write with so much clarity and emotion. I could read your poetry all day. You are one of the reasons that when I feel like giving up on Substack, I stay just to read not write for myself.

Kathleen, I’ve had a DAY! and don’t use caps and the exclamation mark lightly. Your message made me feel less alone and hopeful. Thank you. I’m glad I logged on. xoxo
