A real life Life Erupted

Here is the story I did for MinnPost, where I am a regular contributor. It concerns the life eruptions I've had to navigate since my mum had a mild stroke on June 23. The magma road led to Arizona, where I'm living for a while as I help my mother make her expected full recovery. The story also was reprinted in the Casa Grande Dispatch, the daily paper in the town where my mother lives. Hope it resonates with some of you.

Goodbye Minnesota

Had to leave my Minnesota home (again). This time, it's likely for quite some time. Hope you enjoy the piece.
