Happiness is What Truly Matters My whole life I was raised Catholic. Both of my parents are Catholic and everyone in both of their families is Catholic. Whenever I was only a few months old they had me baptized in the Catholic Church and began bringing me to mass every Sunday.

Unimaginable. Unreal. Those were the words flashing behind my eyelids on the day that changed my life forever. I had no warning, and yet it was true. I was twenty one weeks pregnant, and I had no idea. Yet, as soon as I found out about my pregnancy, it began to reform my life, my values, and my decisions.

Life Lessons When I think of my journey as a writer, I think of the life lessons I learned to get there. In life, you live and you learn. Well, hopefully you learn a thing or two while your feet are on the ground. One of the first lessons I learned was that life isn’t fair and doesn’t always play out accordingly to our plans. Another lesson I learned fairly quickly is that writing is a pain in the ass and it hurts. It hurts heads, feelings, and asses. While I’m up at 2 am finishing a paper I probably

And you were there, outside my room, waving at me as always with that cute, disarming smile on your face, even as you shivered in the brisk autumn air of the New England evening.
