45 years and about nine months ago, my mother was a college student and a single parent to my older sister.

That’s not to say my daddy wasn’t around, because he was, as he was a student at the same college where my mother was a student.

OK, I’m being melodramatic, and I didn’t complete the title. It should say…

Oh, no! I’ve forgotten how to read physical books.

So here’s what happened… Continue reading Oh, no! I’ve forgotten how to read!!!
