About the Author

When Covid finally invaded my body, and seriously depleted my health, I felt that I might be on the very precipice of life itself.

It became the catalyst for me to suddenly get my thoughts and the days gone by, in order. I began to jot down a few souvenirs and dates, and the past started to flow like a torrent of thoughts and images that I wanted to quickly put down on paper. Writing those memories of my life became an obsession, and I wrote as often and as long as possible.

What you have read is the direct result of these feverish days.
