There’s a saying: “you’re born, you live; and you die”.

Below is a photo of Mary Agnes “Mag” spreading her mother’s ashes on an open body of water:

Personally, this book is designed to keep the flame of my paternal grandmother (known as Aunt Gene to the cousins), Marie “Mimi”, Mary Ann; and Joe alive for a much longer period of time, and to be a place to turn to where we can literally “jump right back” to the 1980’s and early 1990’s.

Professionally, this book is intended to be a memoir like the books “The Lost Child Of Philomena Lee” penned by once and again BBC employee and former British Government employee Martin Sixsmith and was adapted into the 2013 motion picture starring Steve Coogan as Martin Sixsmith and Judi Dench as Philomena Lee; “The Butler: A Witness To History” penned by Wil Haygood and was adapted into the 2013 motion picture starring Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr., Robin Williams, and Alan Rickman; and the book titled by Captain Richard Phillips titled “A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea” and was later adapted into the 2013 motion picture starring Tom Hanks. This book also consists of a little fiction of what could have happened, what should have happened; and what would have happened. I guess this book falls into the classification of what is referred to as a Fake Memoir or a Fictional Diary.
