I enjoyed reading your story.
So many families are broken up for the very same reason
Sometimes it takes something simple to open their eyes to be the person they use to be.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the nice review. Cookie. Sometimes as parents we get so caught up in doing the best we can and not realize we are not spending the time we need to with our children.

Hi Patricia, this is a very creative idea to take the poem from another writer and turn it into a story. I felt like I was reading about my life in a way, but maybe it was the name. LOL

What a clever idea to create a story using Joan's lovely poem as inspiration. You did a very nice job with this and I found it well penned and definitely completed Joan's poem nicely. EXcellent work with this one.

Thank you for the great review, Sasha. Her poem just felt like an outline for a story in my mind.

Hi Pat,
I have never heard of this form of writing before; taking another's poem and creating a story. Does it have it's own name or is it something you have created?
This was very clever, and nicely written.
Well done.

A well-written short story. your words flowed well and the story moved right along from beginning to end. The mother and the daughter both knew what they wanted and I am glad they tried hard to achieve it.

Hi Patricia,
You wrote a very good poem to Joan, getting each line of her post woven into your story. I haven't heard anything like this before but I enjoyed reading it and I'm sure Joan will like it too.

Comment from Torshie
The story didn't excite or give me that much detail about the father. I wanted to hear more. And you don't need to say that Beverly is the mother twice. But the story was ok.

Thank you for reviewing my work. I appreciate the pointers about the story and have made a couple of changes.

Great, I think your story can really be great! I just didn't remind me of a proud father, that's all.

This is a well written story based on Joan's cherita, my friend. I wish people in my family would change, but don't have much hope for that. I'm so glad I have Katie Jo. Well written story, my friend~Debbie
