The last thing Charlie ever expected was to become a mother. It was never on her radar of things to accomplish. Her delivery was harrowing. The days after were agonizing. But now someone else came first. Even before Sam. Not knowing how long her body would hold out, she decided to write. To chronicle. To leave pieces of herself for them to always have. It was the least she could do. She wanted them to know. To understand. How much she was consumed by her love for her family.
Always dancing to the beat of her own drum, Vanessa is a heavily tattooed, sarcastic, motorcycle enthusiast who started her career as a ASE Certified Jeep technician at the age of sixteen. Her obsessions of watching Turkish dizi TV shows, or yelling at an NHL game (GO VGK) while reading simultaneously often battle her family. At the age of 26 and becoming a pacemaker recipient—she decided the over 60 crowd was more her scene and learned to knit. She lives in Kentucky (by way of Las Vegas) with her family and crazy cats.
