I Would, If I Could
Yesterday I had a conversation with a friend about affairs of the heart among other things. She’s been married twice. I have never been.

One Came Along
This month, October, we celebrated the national heroes in our island nation. The place where I took my first breath. Where my values and strength of character began to take formation.

The Footprints We Leave
The picture above is one that speaks volumes. This is our high school classmate at his daughter’s graduation from medical school. It is indeed a proud moment for a father to see his daughter following in his footsteps. What makes a daughter want to be a doctor like her dad? The reasons may be manyContinue reading “The Footprints We Leave”
Perfectly Imperfect
If you are anything like me, sometimes you wish life came with the perfect questions followed by perfect answers. Details come perfectly packaged with little or no mess.
