Yes, I guess it's all about coming to terms with life and yourself regardless how we envision others. Thanks for the review. I appreciate it very much.

Comment from BLACKTITANIUM86
Damn! You even have to the skills to paint various and vivid pictures
of one on his/her death bed. And this is when you know there is some
critical thinking. Cause usually when we write these type of scenarios,
we are usually thinking of ourselves. Nice job. Stay Connected

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Carol,
An interesting story. I had a dream once where I was in heaven, surrounded by those relatives who had gone on before me. It was one huge huddle, and felt so good to finally be home with them. I saw my grandfather, the woodsman who loved to fish for trout and hunt for moose. I used to split and pile firewood with him... Frank Travis Bartlett. He died from Alzheimer's.
I hope I pass on alone. I don't want to burden my family with the stress of waiting for me to die. I don't want to put them through that. I was there when my mother died, and when my wife's parents died. It was extremely difficult.
One thing I know, Heaven is much closer than we think. I used to think it was way out there past Pluto somewhere. But then I found out that the universe is an extremely huge place, way too far for our souls to go soaring.
Nicely penned!
Hugs,
Kimbob

I like the point of view of this story. The different bonds between the children are believable. The mixed feelings of the main character are woven through the story with a natural progression.

Comment from Theodore McDowell
Wow! What a powerful post and story. So very poignant and full of insights and peace and assurance that God is in control. What a beautiful way to die this would be. A virtual six. Incredible writing, brilliant story.

Comment from prettybluebirds
What a beautiful and touching story. It is hard to watch another on their deathbed. I have been there too many times. You have done a great job portraying the emotions in this short story. Good work

Comment from Ric Myworld
All we can do in life is our best. And although, we will never make everyone happy or even close, if we give our best effort to be the person we should be, it all on someone else. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry I go to so many dark places of late, but I am trying to find my way back. I hope you are well and I think of you often. Thanks for stopping by to read my thoughts.
Hugs, Carol

I think about you often too. I've even that about just sending you a few messages. But, sometimes, just being left alone, think, and work our way through the hard times is the best medicine. At least, for me. Always wishing you the best! Ric

I hope this is poetic license and you are well. This piece is very sad and brought a tear to my eye. I thought it was beautifully written. Thank you for sharing and take care.

Comment from Wendy G
Beautiful writing and very meaningful - but very sad. Hoping it is not fully autobiographical as I see the various characters, and knowing what pain you have suffered. However there is a sense of rejoicing and triumph because you have walked faithfully with your Saviour and have never let go of His hand, always done what you believed He wanted you to do. He knows and understands perfectly. The remaining members of the family will understand later. So well witten.

Love ya, Carol

Comment from Iza Deleanu
I hope this it's not happening for real, death it's a tragic thing. But the comfort of the family that surrounds the soul that is prepared to go to God's craddle, it's the best moment ever. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

My thoughts were just meandering around in a dark space and I wondered how my family would respond. I think I know, but I pray I am wrong.
