I think this is a touching memoir that gets its topic across well. We all have distintive memories that go with sounds, songs, taste, touch, etc. Thanks for sharing this trip down memory lane and then ending is touching.

I thought this was beautifully done. I especially appreciated the way the sensual was incorporated into the work. All of us have a primary sense that stimulates our reactions. Touching on each receptor is a sure way to get meaning across to the widest audience. I think you did a good job in accomplishing this.

It's wonderful you were allowed to still participate in your daughter's life. Too often the mother takes that away from the father. A wonderful little story. Well done.

The funny thing about young mothers when they turn their child over to a grandparent, The grandparent had practiced with them. Everything ended right. Very well written.

You old swing you. Just reading this wonderful written post brings back memories of me and my only daughter when she was young. I now have 19 grandchildren and 16 of them are granddaughters! I appreciate the memories.

Thank You My Friend,

    19! That is something else. I have eight and things look like they will end there. Just don't get to see them as much as I want. Thanks for reading!
