Thank you Brook, for your kind words. Ruth was a special lady. I was 20 years old when she came into my life. She was a second mother to me. Thank you for this kind review.. J

Great entry.

don't know if the last line was intentional, but I suspect it was, but it was so perfect. Funny, but also filled with the kind of mutual understanding that both you and Ruth shared. Is this fiction? It sounds authentic and either way, it meets the prompt requirements, but if it is non-fiction, do change the category.

Thank you Spiritual Echo, for your kind and encouraging response. Yes, this is true and I am so glad that you sponsored this contest to give thanks. It was so helpful to me. I changed to non-fiction and made some corrections. Blessings!

Oh so excellent! I really enjoyed the read. It is tight and concise, chocked full of sincerity and emotion. Great.
