As splatters of rain
form a whole of water,
so memories form a life.
Bryan Lawrence


These stories are more than a focus on a memoir. They are a collection of personal essays that take the reader on a journey through a writer's thoughts. They cover a multitude of observations spread over many years of watching and listening, from the age of two-and-a half to today. It is hoped that you will find something interesting, familiar or just fun to tug you along through the pages.
