Comment from Sally Law
I am always glad to learn more about your life story, dear Barbara. I am so sorry about your fall and damage to your spine. To live in constant pain is terrible. I have endured long periods of both illness and pain. A good doctor and chiropractor helped me. I get regular medical massages every month for muscle health. It helps keep pain at bay. I will continue to pray for you. I know you are under tremendous stress with your husbands health, as well.
All my best,
Sal

I use a liniment used for horses and it helps numb the pain
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very wel-written heartfelt story about childhood and the leadership of parents who care enough to stand by us through thick and thin, in the good times and the bad times.

This story touched my heart. I can relate as my dad was always working or too busy to bring me up as well. My uncle was my hero. Your grandfather will be very proud of you. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest,

Bless your heart. This is an amazing story. In the absence of a parent, a grandparent is a great and wise standby to teach you some things. i like your spunk, grit and drive. it served you well. I'm so sorry about the unfortunate accident. This was definately a story well worth reading. I'm glad that I took the time to read this well written and enjoyable story. Well done.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello CRW!
I so appreciated the ease with which you share with readers how your grandpa impacted your life. Your writing draws the reader in, and made this reader fondly remember both of her grandfathers.
If I may, I would like to offer just one minor suggestion: Your final paragraph takes place after your grandfather passes. If I am reading it correctly, your grandfather is not mentioned in said paragraph. I would omit the last paragraph or re-position it to somehow incorporate your grandfather into it. The second to last paragraph makes sense as the final paragraph.
Thank you for sharing!

Rewrote the last paragraph
Comment from Miss Sherry
Such a wonderful story! Your grandfather was a hero, like my grandmother who did much the same for me. How can we now say to them the things we feel. Maybe God has a library where they can read our words?? I am sorry you can not ride again, but am delighted to benefit from your great storytelling!
