One of my favorite online literary magazines: Breath & Shadow, associated with abilitymaine.com. Written and edited by people living with disabilities.
Many thanks to the Breath & Shadow for including my story, “Queen of the Family.”
"Grandma didn't always have a crooked finger from arthritis. She didn't always have gouty toes that she would soak in saltwater before achingly slipping into orthopedic shoes. She didn't always have to put drops in her glaucoma eyes and complain that the light was too bright. She didn't always experience heart palpitations and place a nitroglycerin pill under her tongue when her chest hurt. She wasn’t always old." Excerpt of "Queen of the Family."
Click “Queen of the Family” to read the story, and please check out all their work.
