I am lucky to have a large, loving and supportive family. I am grateful to the State of Maryland for helping me along and for my Autumn Lake at Crofton nursing home. I hope for a time when I can take care of myself and travel again. I have my eyes on the prize. I try to walk every day and keep my leg strong. We must be more than a string of experiences and deeds. If just one person reads something in the book and thinks, I have thought that before or that sounds like me, I will be satisfied.I am a 58-year-old teacher, writer and parent to Sam, 22, whom I raised on my own.
My Left Hand A Memoir by Lucy Osius, depicts a life full of contrasts. Lucy has lived in Colorado, the highest state in the USA, where it seemed to snow frequently on the Fourth of July, and broiled under a Middle Eastern sun, so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk.
She's been broke and comfortably well off; She's have been both athletic and wheelchair bound.Lucy has done all kinds of jobs, some lowly, many gratifying, and as a teacher has been entrusted with people's most valuable entity, their children. She has spent parts of my life deeply in love and in others, terribly lonely. She's not sure why God gave her such lessons and experiences: she can only attest to this one life.
