So this is what dying must be like. Nicely done, Sally. You captured the frantic attempt to keep her alive and then the peaceful leaving of the body ... angels and all.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Susan Larson
Sally, You said so much in your few words. While there are many near death stories and end of life stories, (I actually had one myself) I've never heard one so beautifully expressed.

Thank you so much for the excellent review and insightful comments, dear Susan. It is so good to see her name and read your review today. Thank you again. Sending my best today as always, Sally xo
P. S. Congratulations on your recent win. A difficult subject to write about. God be with you and send you an extra measure of His love and comfort in your tremendous loss. I have lost both an unborn child and in recent years, our infant granddaughter.

A beautiful offering of finding the other side, Lady Sal -- just love it! I think it's something we've always heard of but we have individual images of how it would actually apply to us! ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;)
P.S. So sorry for the delayed review - the beginning of school combined with getting the boys off to college (they're all out there now - so quiet round here!!) has me struggling to find a routine... I PROMISE to be there soon - and, believe me, that's more for the OCD blonde over here than for you - LOL! ;) ;) Take care!

No worries, dear friend. I appreciate any time and reviews you afford me. It is a busy time of year. God bless you in your important roles, all of them. Seeing your writing in the midst of it all is freaking amazing.
Sending you my best today as always,

Comment from Diana L Crawford
Beautiful! Yet, so heart-breaking for the family. This is so encouraging that when we lose someone, they are no longer sad and enter a place of true paradise. it is just hard for us who have to go on without them. excellent as always, Sally! xoxo

Oh that we all could float into celestial ecstasy and leave all troubles behind... fly away as you say ... unfortunately we all have bodies held down by tubes and tangled wires...alas...For you, I hope that it's Fiction. - - Lobber

Thank you very much for the excellent review and kind concern. I am still here, but had a vision of what it might be like on the day I depart this earth. Sending my best today as always, Sally :+)
Comment from Roxanna Andrews
This is sad, but yet not. If we only knew what heaven was really like we'd never morn those there other than to miss them. But even knowing what a wonderful place it is, I still wish many back who are there. My youngest sister who will be gone 7 yrs in Nov, and a good friend who had been there about 12 yrs. But it is comforting to know they are there, happy and whole and out of pain. I myself would much rather be there than grow old and unable to care for myself. No one wants that. Well done as always my dear. Rox

Thank you very much for the excellent review and kind comments. For the Christian, we have this hope to be with the Lord as soon as we pass on. I had this vision a few weeks ago and decided to make it a story. Sending you my best today as always, Sally xo
Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
This is a very proficient write. technically sound and very taut and tight. Spot on in regard to word count and I'm sure its topic/theme will resonate with many and the judges.
All the best

Thank you very much for the excellent review and kind encouragement. It is greatly appreciated, GMG. It?s also good to hear my word count is accurate. I seem to have trouble in that department.

Comment from Sugarray77
Sally, what a beautiful, short write for this prompt. I like the description of the main character floating away with an angel into the beauty of the heavens. Great write and I wish you luck.

Comment from Sylvia Page
Sally this is beautiful! I know I can relate to this experience as I was in this state around 35 years ago and now living on borrowed time because God had a better plan for me. God works in mysterious ways. He takes you there and shows you what it is to be on the other side. Then, sends you back to carry the message. You have carried all this in this piece of writing. Well done. Best wishes in the contest.
God Bless you,
Sylvia

Wow, Sylvia. Thank you for sharing a bit of your past experience. It helps me to understand the depth of you. :+) I have grazed death many times, and sense that God has a continued plan for me here and now, as do you. Thank you very much for the wonderful review. It is always so appreciated. Sending you my best today as always, Sally xo
