Writing Workshop: Writing About Family Members – ROEN

Family members can be memorable for all sorts of reasons. The uncle who told stories that were filled with embellishment. The aunt who was the best mentor ever. The grandparent who spoiled us at every turn. The cousin who is an exemplary model of empathy and compassion. The sibling who brings out the best in us. The parent who loved us unconditionally. The child who makes us proud every day. The grandchild whom we spoil at after turn. We will discuss and write about family members whose words and deeds are etched in our memories.
