My Enchanted Island

FAMILY STORIES I can only say that we should treasure each moment of our lives. I am sitting here remembering about my childhood. Wow, there are many pleasant memories. Some are gone; however, they live very deep in my heart. STORIES or TALES Some of my stories will help my readers realize that life is too short. Even though this is a recollection of my life and others in my family, it will help young adults relate to their own family ties.
