I'm trying not to miss my youth with my biological father. I have to be grateful for the time we (John and I) spent with Papa, Mama Claire, Justin, Kellee, Kiana and Jason. We WILL return again next July. I'm almost positive. I just landed a free-lance writing gig with Kearny Life magazine, which is a lifestyle magazine involving everything Kearny, New Jersey. I am doing my first story on Maxi's Fashions, a formal dress shop right here in town that covers weddings, proms, Sweet Sixteens, Quinces, the works. Maxi, the owner, is super sweet. As an angle, I will be writing how Maxi makes dreams come true. I never had a Quince with Papa, so Jack, my editor will be photographing me in a lavender formal Quince gown! The angle is that it took me 55 years for my dreams to come true in meeting Papa. Now, Papa will have pictures of me as a Quince I never was!!! Better late than never. Dreams come true for all ages! Time has nothing...
