What a terrifying memory. The barn catching fire and then not sure what happened to your brother. I imagine you were devastated. The story is well-written, very interesting, suspenseful start to finish. Very nicely done.

Thanks for your review.

I remember you telling us about this fire which your brother started. I also remember that you got blamed for it. That's such a heavy burden for a child to bear and I am glad you met Jesus and could give it to Him!

Thanks for your review.
Comment from Marilyn Lou Berry
This excellent telling of an incident in your childhood was suspenseful and kept my interest throughout. I also enjoyed your depiction of finding God in the things you encountered in the poem you included. Thanks for the sweet and enlightening read!

Comment from Selina Stambi
A touching read, Patricia. You bring your reader right into the fiery space and the sense of relief at the end of it.
My earliest memory is of my fourth birthday.
And I saw God ... lovely line - simple, profound.
Have a lovely week.
Until next time,
Sonali :)

Not an easy first memory I think. Were the pair of you about 4 maybe? I know my brother made a fire on the cupboard in his bedroom. Not as dangerous as you two.

Thank you GracieAnn for the review and the nice comments. It seems I can so easily write poetry, but writing my story is proving to be quite difficult.
Comment from kiwijenny
Patcelaw I also did not have my mother's approval. There was one day when I was seven that I felt I pleased her.
But our mothers did us a favor. We searched for God. We searched for unconditional love and found it.
God bless you dear. This story touched my heart

Thanks for the review. When my mom died I was of two different minds, On the one hand, I was sorry she was gone, because she was my mother, On the other hand, I was glad, as I knew she would never again make me feel less than a person. Yes, our mothers did do us a favor.
Comment from Genya
Hi Patricia, Chapter one and an insight into your life and the fire caused by your twin. Your mother must have been beside herself with worry as you both could have died in there or been seriously injured. Like the way you have used the thorns. Maybe the reason you lost the ability to communicate with your mother was your conscience, not sure. Could have been the guilt..... loved the start of this. My first memory is when God opened the box of my life. This was a fantastic opening. A very interesting piece. Did find a few typos...climbed up in our kitchenand (kitchen and)....andmany dollars (and many)....to where I was an scolded me (and). Hope you don't mind me pointing these bits out. Genya

Comment from kwyattman
I have some of those fire memories also. I was a late child and had a nephew just 8 months younger than me. We grew up together, particularly in our younger years. He was a fire bug and we set the stubble field on fire one time. Another time I set a small fire int the pasture with a firework and we had a hired hand that set the pasture on fire by not dousing some hot metal from a cutting torch. More recently, we had our chicken house/barn burn down several years back and burned our goats so bad we had to put them down. All the chickens escaped unharmed. Fire is something you don't forget.
You have a couple of spaces missing between words in the 2nd and 3rd lines. Great story and poem. Always enjoy hearing about your life.
