One minute I was in my shower cleaning up getting ready for work as a barista, then next I opened my eyes, found myself at a podium with a million people staring back at me. I was extremely confused and trying to figure out if maybe this was some sort of dream. I even pinched myself, not my proudest moment.

Being a single parent was hard, but I wouldn’t trade Wendy for anything else in the world. She loved with everything she had, she was kind, and she always kept me amused.

She would never forget that day, the last day with her mother. It was the summer of 2002, Maria was seven, her big sister Josie was ten years old. She had her mittens on, winter coat, snow jumper, and boots on.

Their mother always made sure that they dressed warm, in the winter. It was Indianapolis Indiana, the temperature was ten below, the snow was at least four feet deep on the ground. She...

All of us were born, with five senses, but in the first week of life, we are sent through the desensitization. It removes us of all of them and we are taught, they are privilege we will earn back when we are older.

I spent many years dreaming about what it would be like to feel these senses, it was all I wanted. Every birthday was another year closer to making the dream happened. Today I turned...
