I'm sorry to see Richard leave the site. Like many others on the site, I felt that I had made a new friend. He was one of the most helpful writers on the site. Gosh...I hate to see him go.
However, I admire him for his decision. The site is addictive. There's so much for us to cover; so much to read, and so much to write. I certainly understand his leaving. Family should come first, and I feel he has made a wise decision. But again, I hate to see him go.
He will missed my many. Not just for the upgrades, but his encouraging words, and that beautiful personality that shows through.
Please tell him Grandma Penny said thanks for everything he did for her and for all the others.
I think you meant this from the bottom of "MY" heart, huh? It's like you've spoken my feelings; my aches and pains, my thoughts. Sometimes we have a lot more in common than we realize until we express our thoughts and feelings.
I'm not quite sure where you are with you husband's illness, but I'm sure you are somewhere near where I was when my first husband was ill with heart trouble. The fear, the anxieties, the changes, and oh yes, the love and determination. Let's not forget the strength that comes from above. Yeah, I think maybe we have a lot more in common than we realize.
Keep writing, and the rest of us will keep reading.
Viv, you have such a way with words. You do such a great job. Keep up the good work. That sounds like a broken, but I mean it. Keep up the good work.
When you get a chance you might like to read my life's story. As you read the story, you'll understand the names being changed. In the story, Beth is "me".
This is a very nice tribute to your mother. She sounds like a wonderful, caring person.
Might I make one suggestion that will make your writes easier to read? If you will double space between paragraphs, that will keep everything from running together.
You could also go back and proof; reading one sentence at the time to be sure you haven't left a word out here and there.
As proud as you are of your mother, I'm sure she's just as proud of you.
Keep up the good work and continue writing.

We truly have some great writers on this site, but right this minute, I think you must have them all topped. You caused "Grandma" to get all teary eyed. Shame on you. LOL
You have given a wonderful account of the convention, and I can hardly wait to read more.
Thanks for sharing with those of us who couldn't make the trip. I'm so happy that it worked out for you to go to the convention, and I'm glad you had such fun. I hope your knee is better.
Your story sounds a lot like mine. My first husband (the father of my children) died at age 39, leaving me with 3 small children to raise. He had suffered for 5 years. According to the doctors, he wasn't supposed to have lived that long with his heart condition. At the time of his first heart attack, they were working on new techniques, but only after Henry died, did they get these perfected. If he were still living, they could do something about his condition, but not back then.
You write well, giving good description and detail. It would probably have been different if you mother had told you Aunt Florence had died and given you some idea as to what to expect.
Now, that's the kind of letter I like to get from my friends...letters with detail. The way you write, sounds like you are just talking to a friend, with no interruptions.
Keep up the good work, continue writing, and stay away from the insects.

Interesting. Am I right to think she was dreaming about the man? I'm just a bit confused, but maybe that's because it's after midnight, and way past my bedtime.
Beautifully written. All the words, lines and verses just seemed to blend in with harmony. It almost brought tears to my eyes. You did a great job with this piece. Keep up the good work.
Maybe it's because I'm not good at poetry, but somehow I don't quite understand this one. Of course, I guess we'd all rather be seen and heard, than sensed and feared. At least we'd stand a better chance of being understood and encouraged.
Keep writing.
Wow! I take it, this is a true story. How old were the kids? early teens, mid-teens , older teens?
I have a children's Bible Club which is called Grandma's Bible Club. The ages range from 4-12. I just removed some of my Bible Club stories, because I'm getting my next book ready for print. But, there is still Grandma's Stories I left in my port. Feel free to check it out. "Invalid Item"
These children are real, (most of them are my grandchildren, and the rest call me their grandma.)and we have actually done all the things I've written about. The kids have really been an inspiration.
Hey, they have those waitresses in Ohio, too. Once when we were visiting my husband's family, he and I went to this little hole in the wall cafe. I might as well have not been there as far as the flirty waitress was concerned. It cracked my husbad up that I let it bother me. Usually, I don't pay stuff like that much attention. Afterwards, even I got a good laugh out of it.
Keep writing. I really enjoyed this piece. I found no errors, and you certainly held my interest. So, my rating of 5 is definitely an honest rate.
On the scale of 1-5, I give you a 10. I love it!
I think this is my most favorite thing onwriting.com.
I didn't find the first boo boo. Although, at the end, I thought I saw one. I was thinking, a House Elf has to remain in the house he or she was born in. Then it dawned on me, this one's house was destroyed.
I'm serious. I absolutely love this. You should do a series of these. You could follow Billy, and show how he's doing in the city.
You really need to follow through with Charlotte and Rebecca, and Theodore.
Don't you dare ever quit writing, please
Keep up the good work. I'm sorry I waited so long to read this.
