Good day friends! I’m excited to share with you, that I put in my notice with my day job. I’m a little nervous because that will mean less $$ coming in, but I still have my part time job and my writing. It will be interesting to see how that all turns out. I’m hoping a full time position opens soon and that they hire me for it! Keep your fingers crossed for me. My last day of work with Aon will be April 3rd.
Now, I’m still waiting to hear back from my Mom, who is being nice enough to give my book 3 a final read through, but I have decided to share (2) more snippets with you, this and next week.
*********************************************************************************************************
I became lost in the sound of the monitors beeping, indicating the baby’s tiny heart was functioning. She wore a tiny pink hat, socks, and a diaper, folded over to leave her belly uncovered and I couldn’t help but think that she was the most beautiful little thing that I had ever saw.
“Before Alejandra died, she saw her.” My father said, his voice shaking with every word, as he stepped over to join us. “She named her Esperanza.”
His voice broke and he momentarily stopped talking.
“It means Hope.” He said to me, not being able to hold back his tears back any longer.
