Each day she sits with her notebook and pen and meticulously transcribes her memories into words on the page. She works at it for hours, filing notebook after spiral-bound notebook. She doesn’t dare read them or take time to edit. She just writes.
She is losing herself. Her memories are slipping away. Her Doctor called it, what was that word? The monstrous disease is robbing her of all that she holds most dear and she rushes to capture the memories before they are consumed forever by it.

Maggie Scheck Geene describes herself as a Catholic wife and mother of five adult children who knits and reads in her spare time. She has been a lover of the written word since she was very young. She began writing a journal in late childhood and has carried that through her entire life. She has recently begun to expand into works of fiction and non fiction essays on spirituality and prayer.
