Through The Looking Glass: A Memoir

I never imagined I'd be writing a memoir. Yet how do you capture the wonder of certain periods of your life? Certain things you never forget. Those very earliest memories are part of your soul, definitely a significant part of who you are. While many of the special people who created those memories may be gone, I'd like to immortalize them in this memoir, most especially my parents, Joan and Edward Flynn and my grandparents, Mary and Frank Flynn, Eleanor and John Dillon. "I walk the corridors of my mind, looking for clues as to where you went..." Once, as a child, I walked an Ocean City, New Jersey boardwalk with my father late one night. We released an foil aluminum balloon we were holding up into the black sky at the end of our walk, watching it bob with it's ribboned tail, reflecting the lights of the boardwalk amusements and wild pounding surf until it disappeared. The lives we live are much like that balloon with it's many beautiful reflections. One wants to capture the beauty of it all before it fades into the night. These memories are from specific periods of my life. The stories deal with life's classic themes of love, learning, loss, perseverance and fortitude. For me, at least, they are too special to be forgotten. I hope I have conveyed to you how really special they were!
