I’ve lived a life full of travel, experiences, critters and people whom I love. These will stay alive for me by keeping photos and writing down the details before I get to the point that I start “forgetting”, which happens to us all. I don’t want to forget the “rotten apple wars” with my siblings – especially the look on Bunny’s face when I got her with a really gushy one, or the surprise birthday party in Louisville, or way my baby daughter’s hair smelled as I sang and rocked her to sleep.
When I write, I choose what to remember and what to cast off. Bad stuff tends to linger anyway…but chasing after an escaped goat through a suburban neighborhood with 11 other kids strung out behind me is something I don’t want to forget. I want to remember my friends, my canine companions and my pet guineas – not just their existence but their personalities and quirks. Nor do I want to forget any of my siblings…we are still the Krazy Kern Kids.
