Wow, this is really an interesting journey you are taken us readers on. I love the writing, so intense. I can feel through the writing everything you feel. I'm anxious, excited and nervous at the same time. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Comment from winespiller
a real nice job here. Sentence structure and grammer are perfect. The fact that it took place in Scotland was also a plus for me. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for a very encouraging review. I'm pleased that you liked it. Ulla
Comment from Jay Squires
This was such an enjoyable read, Ulla. There was the element of suspense and tension involved both before she made the decision to invest the money to find her mother's address and phone number, and also before she actually dialed the number.
A very good read!
I must have sat for the longest time without making a move. [Just a nit picky thing, but when you say "I must have sat for ..." I'm expecting a specific, like 5 minutes or 10 minutes, but "the longest time" really doesn't mean anything.]

Jay, thank you so much for your encouraging review and the praise. I'm so pleased. With regards to 'the longest time'. I see what you are saying but that's really how it was. It was much much more than a moment and it could have been 5 mins 10 mins or longer. I will never be able to say hence that phrase. I'll look into it, and see how I can change it. Thanks again, and all the best. Ulla
Comment from Bryana
Dear Ulla, you always leave me in suspense.
My question would be, Is your mother the
lady who answered the phone? I hope so now
I'm so excited about your trip to the US. I can
imagine what's going on in your mind.
Good luck to you.

Bryana, thanks so much. I am so pleased that you like it. It was my mother that answered, but I didn't want to speak to her. What I wanted was to see her if only once in my life. More to follow soon. All best. Ulla

You've done an excellent job of describing your search, its reason and why you didn't speak when you had the opportunity. Very well done, Ulla. :) Nancy

Comment from Eigle Rull
This post is worthy of a six star. Unfortunately, I have spent all of mine. It was an exciting and interesting set of events. And to actually hear your mom speak. That had to be wonderful. I truly enjoyed reading this powerful post. It was exceptionally good. Best wishes to you, my friend.
Always with respect,

I have been following this for a while, and it keeps getting better. The passion you put into your writing really shines through. As usual, the dialogue is well done and the descriptors are spot on. Cheers.

Comment from Green Lake Girl
This is a very exciting post, Ulla! Now I'm on pins and needles. I can only imagine what it's like to never have met your natural parents. The curiosity would be overwhelming. Just like you experienced. You did a good job writing this chapter. Good description of feelings and anticipation. Well done.

Comment from robyn corum
1.) check these, but I believe it would be:
-->the (River) Clyde, marvelling at the beauty of the (mountains) in the distance. --->and - does 'The Highland' need capitalization?
2.) My mother's name, her address and a telephone number!
--> OMS! I don't know whether to cheer, cry or RUN! *smile*
3.)"Hi, Ulla," the voice of (Aunt) Grethe greeted me cheerfully.
Gripping but terrifying story. I want - and don't want -- to see what happens next!

Hi, Thanks a lot for your encouraging review. Yes The Highlands have to be spellt with a capital as it is also a name for them. More to come soon. Thanks again. Ulla
