A Porch of Whittlers 
I am 70, a nurse by trade, an equestrian by passion and a lover of words and books. I have written since the terrible days of adolescence when words poured out as I tried to make sense of my changing world, my emerging self. In the beginning there was poetry. Lots of it. Later, after my son died, there was the book of his death – an outpouring of grief and hope. A chronicle of swirling emotions, poems, lyrics, quotes and a hope that it could be helpful to someone else who has lost a child. And now, I have a wish to write something for children that is affirming, possibly inspirational, maybe entertaining and decidedly inviting.
I have no formal training.
