To the Editor:
Thanks to the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy, I am taking a writing course. During her opening remarks, our instructor informed us that we are not to interrupt or give our own opinions during the sharing of our stories. I value this very much.
Last year at a luncheon, I discovered during a conversation with the man sitting across the table from me that we were born in the same hospital in Russell, Man. Our families lived in the same area. I was relating this little episode to a couple in the coffee shop. I had barely finished when the man said, “I have one better than that.” Well, no!
My story is my story. We all have our own personal journey with our own feelings and emotions. And that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
