Kaylyn's World

Meet Kasie, the sweetest, most encouraging, and most courageous woman I met around last Thanksgiving. Kaylyn Gabbert : Have you ever heard about International Women's Day (March 8th) before this?

I’ve always had this love and draw toward the 1920s.

I asked two women and both of them are unavailable, and where usually I do go seek other women, something big happened to me in December. In December, I lost my husband, Richard. Due to that we’re going to do this a little differently.  We are going to feature me without the questions. Not only how I’m coping, but I want to share what kind of woman I’ve always been, and who I will become through this trial. It was suggested to me that during this time I should remember all of my accomplishments. I’ll also mention one of the women I wish to interview next month if possible, and worst comes to worst, next year. I’ve always been a woman who can handle any challenge. I was always outspoken and protective of those I loved. I was always smiling. As I grew into a teen and young adult the only thing I temporarily ...
