I was born in Ohio in the fifties. The youngest of four, my parents found me different than my siblings. I was dyslexic and unable to read or write. There was no understanding or help in those days. School was bleak and hard. I read my first book (The Hobbit) at nineteen. I had never read a comic book nor required reading in school. I picked up my second book in my mid-thirties. Read several but took months to get through a few chapters. However, as I read I got faster and fell in love with words. I began writing and although it was untried, I liked it. I read and write often and printed or not, the "words" I write warmly blanket that child who couldn't. I'm thankful for sites like Hello Poetry. Gifted words of your own.
