Welcome to WdC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" We've met before, you and I. As a general rule I try to review people I've not read before, but this piece about a familial bond that brought tears to my eyes is simply too powerful to pass up. I have no criticisms to level, no suggestions for improvement. This is one of the most moving reads it has been my pleasure and my honor to experience on this website, and I just wanted to let you know what a fabulous job you have done with it. You say in your bio that you came here to learn to create wonderful stories. You say you struggle with grammar. This beautiful, heart-wrenching story suggests that you have already achieved those goals; it isn't hard to see how you have garnered eleven Community Recognitions in less than a month! So I have come simply to sing your praises and offer a boost to your confidence. I see this was written for a contest. I hope you do very well; I have confidence that you will. Like I say, I try to spread my reviews among different writers, but when I read this, I simply could not move on without saying something about it. I'll be saying more about it in a few minutes here. More people need to be aware of your work, and I'm going to get busy on that. I hope you have a wonderful day, and life, and that your writing takes you wherever you want to go. Read well, and write better! Jack "Blimprider" Tyler Want to discuss the Craft further? Become a regular at
