Hello GERVicious Ghoul 💀 , Patrece here, with a Power Review of your item; "Ultimate Candy Crusher Game.


*Paw* Initial Impression:
At first glance, this looks super complicated, but once I played it the first time, it really was much easier than it seemed.

*Paw* What Works:
I think it is very cool that you allow players to roll the dice for themselves, or you will roll for them. It is a good thing that you determine what the outcome of the rolls are, as I don't quite have that down pat, and doubt I could figure it all out without it taking me a bit of time, even then...yeah. *Laugh* I also love that you allow the purchasers of the Lolli Hammers to choose which group they want their purchase to benefit. I really enjoyed being able to reward members of my group "TLC Prayer Parlor for participation with this fun game of chance.

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
It is clear that you put an enormous amount of time, thought, and work into creating the Ultimate Candy Crusher Game. Thank you for coming up with a very unique and fun fundraiser!

Hello Richard ~ Typing Left Handed , Patrece here, with a Power Review of your item; "Sinatra Love Songs.


*Paw* Initial Impression:
This was actually very enjoyable! I don't often do crossword puzzles. You had such a creative take on it too, thanks for sharing it with the WdC community. It's perfect for the month of February! It also reminded me of so many beautiful songs that I love and haven't heard in a very long time. Now, I want to listen to some of them again. *Laugh* Now, look what you've gone and done. *Bigsmile*

*Paw* To fulfill your request:
I solved it with the following word list, in order:
(Across) Kick, marriage, stupid, night, romance, coins, under, jealous, strangers, love, luck
(Down) Know, close, you, way, best, mine, people, funny, thing, crush, look, all

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Thank you for sharing this, and for the fun challenge, and for the wonderful offer you put out to us all for completing this. How super-generous and it is much appreciated, secret ninja-monkey! Write on! *Heart*

*Heart* A Paper Doll Gang Review in honor of your OPEN HOUSE! Congratulations!*Heart*


Hello, LegendaryMask❤️ I just finished reading your piece "Jack "O" Lantern Dip bowl and I wanted to offer you the following commentsand feedback.


*Paw* My impression of this piece:
*Laugh* I LOVE IT! The image that accompanies this piece gives the reader no choice but to be instantly drawn in and captured by this fun and creative project. I have no doubt that I am going to have to give this a try this coming Halloween. The only problem I see with it is that people will likely be hesitant to mess up such a fun and amusing work of art!

*Paw* Readability:
Some of the instructions are a little difficult to follow along with, as they aren't all written in a way that is completely clear to understand. While I was able to read back through them a couple of times to gain understanding, there may be people who cannot. However, this does not apply to all instructions. I will note the areas that weren't initially clear below, under the suggestions area.

*Paw* What works well / Strong points :
The humor of the project itself, as well as the humor in your statement: "yes all that oooey gooey guts." I love humor in writing! I also believe that providing step by step instructions are a wonderful highlight to this. Best of all, however, is that you also include the recipes for each dip that goes with this project, rather than leaving the reader to search for them or buy pre-made dips. Then, going the extra mile, you even give the specifics on how to set it all up! Fantastic!

*Paw* Errors noted:
***A tiny error here: "yes all that thoseoooey gooey guts."

*Paw* Suggestions:
***Just as a suggestion, it may help those planning to follow through with creating this awesome project if you were to list each ingredient on its own line, followed by a list of ancillary supplies needed, each also listed on its own line. This way, they could just print this out and have their shopping list in an organized form. However, as I said this is only a suggestion, and not doing so won't make or break this awesome project in the least.

*** Here is what I was referring to as the part of the instructions that I found a bit confusing. (Maybe it was just me?) "Take the 3 pieces on the black, stick one straight pin into the top and one on the bottom; then pin in place above the mouth area. Then glue stick the red and yellow to the black; Whatever way you want them to look."

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
All in all a wonderful item! I enjoyed it very much and will definitely be giving it a try this coming Halloween! I look forward to reading more of your work over the month of June, and into the future! Great job! I hope you have more fun and creative projects in your port!

Thank you for sharing this most informational article. I found the comparison to be quite interesting and educational. I must agree the lines penned by Sackville Were not only flat, but also caused the reader to work a bit at reading his work. Whereas, Sidney penned an active read that was much easier to follow.

I have one suggestion / Correction for you. In one spot you refer to the name "Spencer", rather than "Sidney", whom I am fairly sure you were intending to refer to.

A great lesson on making your words count!

*Paw*Why I chose to review this work.
I absolutely love dogs! And when I noticed this piece and ruwth 's newsfeed review challenge, I had to get in on it. Thank you for sharing your work!

*Paw* My impression of this piece:
You bring your beloved and departed canine friend to life for all to experience, in this loving tribute to his special place your heart and in your life. His playful and mischievous manner comes across clearly, and your appreciation for his special ways and how much they meant to you shine through in this lovingly drafted poem about his continued presence in your life, even after his passing. What a beautiful way to share the bond the two of you havesharied and apparently, continue to share, together.

*Paw* What I really liked:
You so an outstanding job of bringing Scooter to life in the minds eye of the reader. rather than break our hearts with the loss your encountered, you give u hope and joy in the continuing relationship between the two of you in this heart warming tale.

*Paw* Suggestions:
The only suggestion I have to offer refers to the last line in stanza four and the first line of stanza five. I'd like to suggest that you revisit these lines and make a change to one of the two, as you repeat the word "disappear" in both. While I realize it rhymes in both lines, these of the same word in two successive lines feels redundant. Surely, with your talent, you can find a way to rephrase without repeating this word two lines in a row. Aside from this, it is just lovely!

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
thank you for sharing your creative talent with the res of us here at WDC! I really enjoyed reading this beautiful piece!

Hello Gravedigger Dave , Patrece here, with a ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** review of your item; "Leprechauns & Rainbows.


*Paw* Initial Impression:
My pet dragon delivered me atop a vivid sparkling rainbow. I slid with breathtaking speed down from the arch and landed on a cushion of four-leaf clovers on The Emerald Isle! Catching my breath and gaining my bearings, I was able to make out the sound of two voices: one with an enchanting, male Irish lilt, the other soft, sad, and beautifully feminine; like a gentle spring breeze.

So enraptured was I, that I found myself unable to turn away from the scene unfolding in front of me. A private moment it was, yet it was clear that I was invited to share in it. So I followed along the road painted in broken hearts and dismay, and found my heart filling with hope and joy for the lass, as the two conversed. For the darkness lifted and a spectacular rainbow appeared, and onto it they veered. I knew then, all would be well. I continued to follow along, unable to disengage, and witnessed the unfolding of a beautiful love That would always be true.


*Paw* Flow:
The flow was wonderful, and engaging and held my attention well. Nicely written!

*Paw* What Works:
You created a beautiful love story in the form of a poem. And, to be honest, I rarely review poetry, as it isn't my strong suit. But you created this in a way that readers of many Genre's can thoroughly enjoy the tale!

*Paw* Suggestions:
None at all, except for maybe encouraging you to continue to spin your magical words in such a beautiful and engaging way!

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Thank you, for sharing your work, This piece deserves the ribbon which adorns it!

*Heart* A Paper Doll Gang Review *Heart*


Hello, VisonzOfDystopia I just finished reading your piece "A Rose In Dystopia and I wanted to offer you the following comments!


*Paw* My impression of this piece:
I rarely ever review poetry, as I rarely ever write it. But the beauty of the feelings shared here grabbed ahold of my attention and held it. In the midst of a world filled with darkness and despair, the pure inner beauty of this person shown through, and touched the writers heart and changed their world. No longer a world of bleak, hopelessness, but a splash of bright colors now painting your world. A shining, new and beautiful future rising before the author is heart touching and fills the reader with hope for the happiness filling the emotions and future of the writer. You have created a vivid image promising so much, in so few, well chosen words. Bravo!

*Paw* Readability:
I found this easy to read and to continue reading with it's heartwarming, fresh hope. The flow is fairly smooth. Just a suggestion or two will be shared with you below, that may help the flow just a bit.

*Paw* What works well / Strong points :
I believe my absolute favorite line(s) in this writing are the closing lines. They speak of a powerful change to the author's life.
"Thievery at play, usurped my heart;
embezzled like colonial gold,
hauled from the shipwreck of me."

The deep emotion with which this is written adds to the effect it has upon the reader. You have written this in a way that truly paints an image in the mind of the reader.

*Paw* Suggestions:
***In this line, I'd like to suggest the use of punctuation after the word "rose". An illustrious rose she arose from fields dystopian.
***Here, I believe you may have missed adding a "s" where indicated. She enchant(s) a soured dream,
Aside from these two suggestions, I have no others.

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
I have enjoyed reading this piece, and appreciate you sharing it with me. I hope the beauty of this fresh rose that has emerged into your life remains!

Hello {suser:xx), Patrece here, ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** of your item; "Invalid Item.


*Paw* Initial Impression:
I have enjoyed reading this first segment of your short story. It is creative and intriguing, while much imagination went into it's concept. There are many takes on what the dystopian future may involve. Your take on this vastly emerging Genre doesn't seem to mimic any of the other versions I have read from other authors. Kudos on being unique in your work. When your introduction mentions a mandatory implant, I initially expected it to be a more basic tracking type microchip implant. Fooled me! *Laugh*

*Paw* Flow:
For the most part, this piece has a decent flow to it. I did note below some areas you might want to take a look at, along with some possible suggestions to help improve the flow. But all in all, it was still easy to follow and held my attention.

*Paw* What Works:
This was unexpected, and caught my funny bone! "He was tipping his hat, and wore an expression which may have been resolve, but now looked like the constipated countenance of a man who was long in dying." I love that even in such uncertain times, you were able to work in some humor.
Your unique take on the dystopian future is an enjoyable change of pace.

Review of Saving Maximus  
Review by Patrece ~
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hello Sewcrazy Again 🤗 , Patrece here, dropping by with a Power Review of your item; "Saving Maximus.


*Paw* Initial Impression:
This is a truly heart touching and heartfelt writing. The love and caring for Maximus and his momma shines through in this piece. Additionally, if the image associated with this story is Maximus, he's a total cutie pie! It is apparent that you are trying so hard to be descriptive in the story, but you would do this more justice by using more of a "showing, not telling" approach. I'll provide you with an example or two below, of what I mean. However, this is your story, and only my opinion.

*Paw* Flow:
The flow is somewhat disrupted by the changing of tenses (past and present) on occasion.
By smoothing out the flow, you will grab and hold the attention of the reader, much more effectively. To help get the proper flow going on, you need to get everything going in the same tense, in addition to more "show" and less "tell". This does, after all, have the makings of an incredible and captivating story.

*Paw* What Works:
The love and devotion to Maximus and Belle shines through in this story. I love how you share that Belle is a pampered pooch and a beloved part of the family. It is heartwarming, that even as miserable as she must be feeling, her excitement for the children's arrival never fails to be present.
I applaud your efforts to provide the reader with as much detail as possible: the squirming pups in Mom's tummy, her enthusiasm at the kid's arrival, how Belle tries to block the streaming sun from her eyes, etc.

*Paw* Suggestions:
Click here

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
All writers have to edit their work. Usually many times, to get it just right. This really is a precious story, and with some editing, positing and dusting, it will SHINE the the beauty it is! And I think it is special enough to deserve the time and attention to get it there. Thank you for sharing your work! After you have made revisions, feel free to contact me, if you'd like me to look at it once again. If you have any questions, feel free to email me with them. I'll be glad to help out.

I must admit, I am not ordinarily one to read this type of story. But this did capture my interest, and hold it.

This story is pretty well written, but feels incomplete, to me, the reader. Is there another chapter? A continuation? Where does the alien life form take the infant, and to what means? While I really like this piece, I can't help but ask these questions.

I have found no typo's or errors that need to be draw to your attention. Only the above comments, which are yours to take or leave.

Please understand that this review is based on my own opinion and thoughts. Please disregard anything you do not feel works for you. {e:bigsmile)

*Paw* Why I chose to review this work:
It is my pleasure to complete this review for you, as a part of the challenge we mutually entered "I Write in 2018

*Paw* My impression of this piece:
My overall impression is that writing is a very important aspect of your life, and you intend to take it places in this new year we are embarking upon. The fact that you interpret fulfilling these goals as a responsibility to yourself, just reinforces how much truth that impression likely holds. I find your enthusiasm and aspirations for the year 2018 to be quite admirable, however, as a word of caution, unless you are at home full time, and possibly if you, you may be putting a little too much pressure on yourself. That may depend upon: the foundations you may already have in place to begin writing the three books and having them published, the skill you already possess in writing, how long the books will be, how fast you write, and other obligations you have to fulfill. But I'm my humble opinion, I like to see someone shoot for the stars, rather than sit back and lose touch with what is important to them.

*Paw* Readability:
This is quite short and easy to read and understand.

*Paw* What I really liked:
The sheer ambition that you possess in achieving your dreams and goals! I also appreciate that you are making the effort to be certain you are working toward fulfilling your goals for the WRITE *Bigsmile* reasons.

*Paw* Suggestions:
***Other than where you made the "list" The gaps in the piece are a bit large, I would suggest a single space within each paragraph and a double space between paragraphs for a cleaner, more professional look.
***In the second paragraph, last sentence, it reads: "Hopeful completed." Did you mean HOPEFULLY?
Other than these suggestions, I just encourage you to read it, read it, and read it again. Especially out loud. For some reason, this helps you identify more easily areas that can be written a bit more smoothly, or could benefit by better wording choices. Unfortunately, it is what we all must do to get a nice, polished piece!
Oh, also considering the contest you are entering this into, you may wish to expand it before the deadline. I'll tell you, that is one tough and super-competitive contest!

{e:Paw} Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Keep up the great work and hold tight to your love of writing. You'll flourish with each passing day! Thank you for sharing this! GOOD LUCK with the contest!

Rated: E | (4.5)
*Paw*Why I chose to review this work.
I was just cruising around WDC after being gone for quite a long while. I stumbled across this, and thought id take a peek!

*Paw* My impression of this piece:\
Oh, the innocent naivety of youngsters. Everything is fascinating, all is a discovery. No concept of danger is percieved, as babies are typically under the watchful eye of an alert and protective adult. I wonder if it angers a young child or baby, to have constant interference in their explorations?

*Paw* Readability / Grammar / Punctuation:
This was well written and a fun, short read. No suggestions in the area at this time.

*Paw* Character development:
A brave lil fellow, bur then the cluelessness of one so young, supersedes anything but bravery...at least for most babies.

*Paw* What I really liked:
Clearly the lil one was caught up in whatever experience was maturing it's little mind. It's funny how a baby must likely see as as an interference in their exploration, while never realizing we ( the protective and loving adults in their lives) saved their butts! *laigh*

*Paw* Suggestions:
No suggestions here, really. For having only 55 words to work with, I think you did a great job!

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Thank you for spring & write on!

*Paw*Why I chose to review this work.
I logged on to WDC after a lengthy absence: and noticed your piece under the "read a newbie" heading. The description you chose to give for this prose caught my attention, as I too, struggle with depression. Great job on setting the "hook" for readers whom also can relate to the subject matter.

*Paw* My impression of this piece:
As my eyes and mind consume this very personal and tender piece, I find I am able to closely relate to the message you have shared here. I am willing to bet that the writer (you) has personally experienced the agony of depression and it's many facets. My guess, based on the ending, is that you still do. Only those with personal experience can possess such intimate knowledge of how depression / mental illness truly feels, and it is well conveyed here. My heart is with you and I hope you are catching your breath and climbing to your feet once more.

*Paw* Readability / Grammar / Punctuation:
You have done a wonderful job in conveying the helpless and hopeless feelings that those with mental illness must endure. I have a couple of small suggestions for you, but please understand they are of my own opinion and, should you not agree, please disregard them.
***Here "That is until the tide comes in..." I believe a comma may be needed after "that is".
***In just a spot or two, the flow seemed strained a bit: such as: "Something once so tangible crumbled into nothing, leaving me kneeling in the wet sand as the tide surrounds me over and over again until it sucks me into its open arms, to be engulfed in each drop of doubt." PLEASE NOTE: this is an excellent and powerful way of stating your message! The only suggestion here, relates to the fact that is a very long sentence. I think it would smooth out the reading process if you might consider splitting it into two sentences between the words "nothing & leaving." But again, this is purely your choice.

*Paw* What I really liked:
You used terrific analogies, which, I believe can truly help those who do not live with mental illness personally, grasp it's effects to a good degree. It is a very open and honest sharing of a deeply personal experience / condition. I also greatly appreciate that you took the time to put in down in words. That, in and of itself can be a self healing gesture.

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Wonderful work here! Keep writing and sharing. You have true talent.

Review of Why I Love Books

Rated: E | (3.0)
I really appreciate the sentiments behind this poem, it's very touching and true. I would like to suggest that you try not to use the same word "book" so many times. I see that you were trying to make all of the lines end with the same sound, but you don't HAVE to do that in poetry...and if you do, you need to mix words a bit more.

Please understand that i tell you this to be helpful, not critical in the least. For a six line stanza, you could make every other line end in rhyming words, or rhyme the first two then the second two and then the third two lines. But I do so love your message here! It is so true!

*Paw*A House Stark review of "Looking Back: A Sliver of the Past for GabriellaR45 for Game of Thrones.*Paw*


*Paw* My impression of this piece:
I give this a rating of 5 stars, as I cannot imagine a single thing that you could do to make this any better other than turn it into a bigger work. It starts out so happy, and like so many relationships, it crumbles to bits.

I am gathering, by the fact that she still has the picture, which is now fading, that she never stopped loving him and remains alone years later. So sad to fall in love, only to abandoned later. It would be hard to fight to get one's "love" back, when the only competition is that he wishes to be without you...or anyone. How does one combat that?

You have done an excellent job of showing us the relationship through "her" eyes, from beginning to end. Your wording paints the emotions and images clearly in the mind of the reader.

*Paw* Readability:.
Very nice written and easy to follow and understand.

*Paw* What I really liked:
The transition, as it reminds us all that nothing is guaranteed to last forever, if we read it with an open mind and heart. This is a very real occurrence for so many people.

*Paw* Suggestions:
None.

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
It was a pleasure to read your work. You a re truly gifted. Thank you for sharing your talent!

*Paw*A House Stark review for "Invalid Item for of House (enter their House).*Paw*


*Paw* My impression of this piece:
As i read this, I found it to be extremely well thought out and wonderfully written! I can certainly see why your writing has won awards! Just the Introduction in and of itself hooked me and kept my interest well engaged throughout. I actually find myself looking forward to reading more of this book, but I fear it will have to be done after GoT is over. I'll definitely be back to check it all out!

I find myself curious as to why the young peasant girl was cast out by her family, as well as a thousand other curiosities that I will only satiate by reading the book in full. I look forward to it!

I also appreciate the fact that you fill the reader in on how locations have been renamed, and what they were previously known as. It gives the reader a clear idea of the setting and distance, as well as the changes encountered by the world as we now know it.

*Paw* Readability:
Easy to read, and extremely well written. What a pleasure to read and review!

*Paw* What I really liked:
I like the way this is so well thought out, giving vital background information to the reader, to facilitate the understanding of what may seem out of place in the future chapters, otherwise.

*Paw* Suggestions:
I have zero suggestions for you aside from this: Keep on writing, you have an incredible talent and gift for it.

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Thank you for sharing your wonderful creation with me, and allowing me to review it.

*Paw*Lady Athena here with A House Stark review on "Silent Scream for Angels in my Ear For Game of Thrones *Paw*


*Paw*My Impression
Wow! Oh, wow! The pain conveyed in this poem is literally heartbreaking. It even managed to tug a tear or two from my eyes. I can relate so very closely to this. I am going through something similar, yet with a different kind of relationship. As I read this, I couldn't help but reflect on an also similar situation I experienced. One really must wonder; WHY and HOW can things just fall apart when they seemed so solid and durable? How sad but true it is. My heart goes out to you, the author, for the pain you must have been experiencing when writing this excellent piece.

You did a wonderful job with the rhyming and gaining maximum impact with this. Great job!

*Paw*Favorite Lines
Our friendship lost forever
I must walk away
But I'll always cherish
The words we used to say

The last stanza says it how it is. There comes a time we must just let go and accept what is, no matter how painful it may be, if for no other reason than self preservation.

Review of Late to School

*Paw*A House Stark review for "Late to School for Andrew For Game of Thrones*Paw*


*Paw* My impression of this piece:
*Laugh* Ugh, how I dislike having one of "those days". I couldn't help but laugh because it brought back memories of being a pre-teen and teenager and waking in a terrible panic thinking, Mom's going to kill me! I'm late, I'm so late and when Mom finds out, I am dead meat! It was up to us to get ourselves awake, ready, and to school on foot and on time. We lived just inside the non-busing zone. As I'd jump out of bed in a full on "freaking out" mode, and run to the bathroom to brush my hair I would suddenly remember, Oh, hell...this is Saturday! Sometimes I'd slink off back to bed, others I'd be too wound up to even bother trying to go back to sleep. As I think back, I only recall twice I was truly late for school, but several times the scenario above played out. Thank you for entertaining me with this story that brought back similar memories of my own.

*Paw* Readability:
Very easy to read and follow. Well written!

*Paw* What I really liked:
I loved the ending, where John's friend Eoin informed him that the ringing of the phone just as John was leaving the house, had actually been Eoin calling to tell him the bus was going to be late. That's just too funny after everything he went through to make it to school on time, thinking he missed the bus!

*Paw* Suggestions:
The only suggestions i can think of would be to add more mishaps to make it even funnier! LOL

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Thank you for the laugh and the dredging up of old memories! Write on! Thank you again for sharing your work!

*Paw*May Your house Fare Well*Paw*

*Shamrock* Welcome to Power Reviewers March Mayhem Review Raid *Shamrock*


Hello {suser:dansturn), Patrece here, dropping by to review your item; "Invalid Item.


*Paw* Initial Impression:
I am not very familiar with forms of poetry, and perhaps not the best of people to review it, but when I read the description, I couldn't help but gravitate to this heart felt piece. It is my personal belief that when reviewing, it is not only acceptable, but proper to share how the writing affects the reader. It is obvious that her love for Jesus was an important part of her life. As was sharing her knowledge and love for her savior. As I read this poem, it was clear to me that those around her were quite touched by the rosary in her hand, almost as if her last message to everyone was to have faith in the Lord.

*Paw* Flow:
This has a fairly good flow to it, in my humble opinion. A couple of the lines seemed a little long to fit the overall flow of the rest, but again, I know little of the ways of writing poetry.

*Paw* What Works:
The love, respect, faith and togetherness, shared in this short poem, is very heart touching.

*Paw* Suggestions:
I am not quite sure what "plastic priest" represents. I know what a priest is, obviously, but not "plastic priest" Is there a way to share in this piece what that represents?

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Thank you for sharing this. I really love the description you included under the title. It is beautiful!

Review of Second Chances

*Shamrock* Welcome to Power Reviewers March Mayhem Review Raid *Shamrock*


Hello {suser:tssharp), Patrece here, dropping by to review your item; "Second Chances.


*Paw* Initial Impression:
This begins as such a sad tale, with Monica losing her family to a drunken driver, only to be begrudgingly accepted by an uncle, because there was money involved. A young girl needs love, acceptance and stability. To make matters worse, when she finally thinks she has found those things, she is betrayed. Your leading character is strong and resilient, however, and upon learning she is with child, decides to do the best she can by her child, someone who will truly love and need her. I almost get the feeling from how this story unfolds, that the fathers parents never shared the letter with him, which she hand delivered to them. I get this feeling because the monthly checks come from his parents, not him.

Monica's strength shines through again, in following through with serving Angelica and Gabe's table, even after Angelica's rather rude remark. Little did Angelica know the error of her assumption. Monica show's great self control in not making a scene by trying to justify or explain her true circumstances.

*Paw* What Works:
You show in this story, not only how important love and trust are, but how; where there is a will there is a way. Alone in the world, a single mother, yet she manages to be a parent, complete her college education, and work to support herself and her child. Instead of giving up hope, she embraced the responsibility that was hers, alone.

*Paw* Suggestions:
CLICK THE ARROW

*Paw* Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
There is a beautiful message of hope, love and trust shared in the words of this story. Thank you for sharing your work.
