“This is the restless cardboard box I carry from room to room, house to house filled with papers I do not know how to sort. How do you separate trash from trash? Everything looks like something else-something I just might need. Someday right?”

“In preparation for motherhood, I read books, I watched people around me, and I learned what to do but also what not to do. I quickly realized that my schooling and tertiary education did little to prepare me for being a parent. I even attended antenatal classes to prepare for the birth, but that is where it ended. When my baby was handed to me after delivery, I never received a manual. Oh, how I wished they came with one!”
