Yes it is good to know that the door is always there for the child/man to decide when to enter or leave, as a parents influence can only help and not direct and against their judgement at sometime the child will take is own path, with Faith that the door will still swing both ways, this is very well written with wonderful artwork ( the flags reflection) best wishes for your contest****kahpot

This is so special that I'm printing it out Yvette and I'm sharing it with some people I know. When I was at Austin's graduation, there was that one boy ... or maybe it was a girl? ... that joined the military. Of course, all the students were applauded as they walked across the stage. But this one got the loudest and a huge standing ovation. I'll send this over to Austin's Nana with a note. I'm sure she'll know who the student is and get it to their parents. I REALLY, REALLY wish I had a 6 for this... even though it's worth a 10! :) :) :)

I am very glad you enjoyed this one Susan -- know it probably won't win as it doesn't 'sing' like it should, but there's lots of other elements that I was hoping touched folks (and I'm thinking it may just have done that!) :) :) Please, please pass around to anyone... love to know that my writing can actually reach out to folks... :) :) I am so very glad I have no teaching on Fridays... usually my day for grading but since it's the first week back, I don't have any yet...HOORAY!! :) Just need a glass of wine and good trashy romance to relax!! ;) :) I'll take your virtual 6 (or more!) any time, Beautiful Lady, cuz I know you're out there beyond the stars on the page!! ;) :) Thanx for the review and have a great weekend!! ;) :) Yvette

Loved this, Yvette! And this applies to all moms who have watched their children grow. I like how you start with the door and tie all the memories associated with the door. Really well done and best wishes in the contest!!
