Awe?... Check. Envy?... Check. Jealousy?... Check. Yep! All the emotions are here!
So well deserved!! The piece is indeed award-worthy. As always, you've doled out your words as if they were national treasures, each one doing its above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty task! The little bomblets that say so much with so little.
The topic itself is one that wrings forth a horde of emotions, and yet you were able to boil it down to effectively. Scary! Virtually an entire life... several people's lives... in such concise precision. I need lessons!
"There will be no living with her after this" for sure! There's no luck here, just sheer, raw skill.
Thanks, Kerry. The support from my entire flist has been a joy to behold. You've all been so encouraging and helpful, I could not have done this thing without you guys in my corner.
I'm gonna repeat myself: I was truly blessed to have non-native speakers read this story and add their comments before I sent it out. You saved me no small embarrassment and your encouragement did wonders for my nerves. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And you know where to find me, right? LOL
