Very moving story of aged love and care needed.
The elderly can become very overbearing every household has at least one story to tell, of 'mum or grandpa' Good story.

This is truly a beautifully written heartfelt letter you wrote to and about your mother in law. You used such good descriptive words explaining things to her that maybe will jostle her memory about life before. I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. Blessings, Teri

    I am very appreciative of this positive review. Heartfelt true stories are easier for me to write than fiction. Thank you for taking the time to write and review it.

Nice work on this piece. Strong emotional content. I found a couple of things for your consideration.

First, you may want to put a space in between your paragraphs for easier reading.

Finally ,we came face to face, my soon to be mother in law. --Spacing error for the comma after finally. Also, mother-in-law. You have many variations of the in-law scattered throughout.

and full filed the needs of my husband,-- fulfilled.

strenght to persevere . --strength. and spacing error with your period.

Good luck in the contest,
Russell

    Thank you for being specific on all my oversights with the grammar. I find myself getting so involved with the content, I overlook these very critical aspects of writing.
