What a lovely tribute to so many of your FanStory family members. I have met these wonderful people too. Your metaphors are perfect for the occasion.

    Liz, I'm so sorry for the delay in this thank you message. I got behind before my surgery, but trying to catch up while healing in the hospital. I thank you for the lovely review and kind words for my poem and 100th post.
    . So appreciated my friend!

This was a lovely token of gratitude for people. The rhyme scheme felt very natural and conversational. I hope everyone you were thinking of gets a chance to read this, because it felt as though it came very much from the heart. Thank you for sharing it and have a wonderful day.

Hi Debi,
to me, this poem shows your heart as I have come to know it. Honest, caring, loving, understanding... the kind light that shines so brightly for all lucky enough to have come in contact with you on this site of family and community.

Of course we are all here to write in whatever capacity they may be, but I see so many of us connecting more than just a reviewer, poet, or writer of prose... I see and read this within this beautifully scribed poem. Your Milestone one-hundredth post. Congratulations!

I hope you are well, as I recall reading in the interview with Garry that you were going in for surgery very soon. My prayers, healing and light are shining for you beautiful lady. May all go smoothly and your recovery swift.

Thank you for sharing this gorgeous poem with your family, friends and colleagues.

With our thoughts we create...
true connections.

Kindest regards,
James.

    James, you write the most beautiful reviews that have a poetic feel within them. I feel like framing this one, and for sure will copy it into my folder of my favorite reviews ever. I can't thank you enough for the kind words and you made my heart feel calmer as I get ready for Monday. Bless you my dear friend. (Biggest smile and hug coming back your way)

    Thank you for the lovely comments Debi. I am an emotional reviewer, as I call myself. I react to what I read and let my heart, mind and finger-tips do the rest. I applaud your beautiful-kind spirit and will be thinking and sending you prayers of good outcomes and speedy recoveries from my higher heart to yours.
    A big smile and hugs back Debi 'my' dear friend.
