Walayee Poet Lay Whitlock-Ishway Poems
In Chicago for 6 months

Hey guys,
Miss ya much!!! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am in Chicago for 6 months. My girls are back home in MD with their dad and I miss them terribly.
As everyone knows I work part-time as a caregiver; what you don't know is that my FT job is as an advisor for Laureate Higher Education. This is my 1st travel assignment since 2007. I love my job but boy do I miss my girls.
I haven't had a minute to think let alone write and my heart desires it! I will have some down-time this weekend and will be judging my last contest. Expect results by Sunday at the latest. I hope everyone is doing well. Big hugs... Lay

What a lovely picture!! Enjoy your stay in Chicago...but stay warm. Heard they were blasted in the last winter storm! Indeed it is hard to be away from your children, so I hope the time passes quickly for you. Good luck!

Congrats Lay on a super spectacular time of your life and career my friend... an awesome feat and enjoy with pride and luv ... missing the children is so hard on a parent to leave them behind but providing for them in the best way brings a little comfort while they are with thier Dad.. keep us posted my friend.. and much success ... looking forward to your winners list with luv..

We miss you here, Lay, but I know you're on quite a prestigious mission in Chicago. Maybe the girls will be able to visit you soon. Spring break is coming up. Love, Carolyn

It's so nice, though, that you have a job that you seem to love and you are busy and looking happy there in your cute picture, Walayee! Good luck with your contest. I can't even remember it or if I entered it. The contests here are like speeding bullets! Luv, Andrea
