Wow. I can certainly see why this was a contest winner. You did an awesome job of describing this difficult situation. I felt like I was in line with you and felt every emotional thought that was running through your head. A topic many of us have experienced first hand. Loved the ending. Well done.

Oh, my gosh, this was a terrific story and I can wholly understand why it was the contest winner! You did a lovely job of telling it, and it was also so very sad.

Thank you for your wonderful review. The reason I can write this piece now, is because I've dealt with the pain. Yes, it still hurts, but time, (15 years) does heal the heart. Many hugs and thanks. Your words touched my heart.

Thanks for the pleasure of your outstanding story. It is a well written and smooth flowing emotion shaker that stirs the happy and the sad. Everyone needs a mother whose last priority is her family. Great job. :-)

Final Words of Life" It is so sad when a loved one dies, and even worse when it is the only person in the world who brought you into this world. Well done.

No doubt, the writing is swathed in sadness and loss.
When I think of the word "thorn" I see contrasting purposes. "Thorn on our side" is not very pleasant. When the author says "Her family are her roses, and she is their thorn" I see a double meaning.
With Mom, let there be no monkey business. "I'll be watching all five of my grandsons from Heaven; I will see everything you do, so you had better be good." But then, anybody who messes with the roses, gets pricked by the thorn.
While Mom has final words for each one, the all-embracing final words is given to Dad for everyone: "The roses in our yard are beautiful.I love you all. Take care of this yard for me."

Comment from Sanku
the picture is haunting. the write is beautiful, very realistic and touching.i hope the roses are being looked after and you can tell stories about her grandmother when your child is born.
"..its as if my unborn child wants to say goodbye to the grandmother she never knew." ..she would never know - would be better, i think.

Wow Bobby Jo, I am not in the least bit surprised that this won the competition, what a heart rending tear jerker,This must be biographical, no one can write like that without having experienced it! It brought back memories of my own darling daughter who lost her battle to Leukaemie 9 months ago, The same scenario, except she was just 24 years old, thank you for writing this wonderful story, it brought a tear to my eye, God bless.

Your wound is fresh and your daughter, very young. I send my thoughts and prayers your way. Your words touched my heart. Yes, this is non-fiction. The only reason I can write it now, is because I've had 15 years to deal with it. I kind of think I'm coming back into this heart-wrenching story for a couple of reasons. Because in the 15 years since she has been gone, I've given birth to 3 children and lost my dad to a heart attack about 7 years ago. I have spent those years as being a full time mom. Now, my oldest daughter is hitting HS. I'm going through a different change and realizing I didn't have time to really grieve my mother then. However, now I feel my stories are meant to reach out to people who are going through a rough time. Many hugs to you and may God hold you as you cry.
