I am Dervish. I’m a writer, photographer, and mom.
Here are the people I’ll be writing about the most (lucky them):
DEX - hubby of over a decade
EDWARD - first born, 9 yrs old
DAVEY - second born, 6 yrs old, happens to have 3 copies of his 21st chromosome and a very thick medical record
MAE - first of a pair of daughters, 2 yrs old
JULES - second of the pair of daughters, 2 yrs old
We live in New England. I’ve lived in New England for over half my life. But as Neil would sing, New England’s fine, but it ain’t home. Home is Colorado. Home is the Midwest.
Couple of quirks: I have celiac disease. Not fun to deal with, but what’s worse is how I feel when I eat gluten. I also have hypothyroidism. May be related to having celiac, maybe not. Both are autoimmune diseases. Both are manageable.
