A man that has the talent can praise a parent that has love in her heart and can see what the child can't. This is beautiful Yvette. I would be happy to have you for a mom. :) Sorry I have not reviewed but I'm in Hondo Texas sheetrocking my home. Ain't got no computer, air conditon, heat nor other utilities. But it's my home. My wife and I are happy. I am on 1 acre, two bedroom home with woods and insects for neighbors. You take care and write I'll read and write when I can. My phone is going down. Take care woman.
Jose. :)

    Hooray for a Home in Hondo -- that is such a wonderful thing, Jose!! Oh, I remember alll the sheet rocking and 'spackling' and sanding.... lots of work, but SOOOO worth it in the end......CUZ IT'S YOURS!! ;) :) Good to hear from you sir and best of luck with all the fix up -- you just be sure to take AT LEAST a few hours for Christmas... and, just think, NEXT year, you'll have it 'ready and decorated' for the Holiday Season!! ;) :) Blessings to you and your wife on your new home, sir -- you take care of the both of you!! ;) :)

    Proverbs 24:3-4 ?By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.?

    May you find riches to fill each room! ;) :) Yvette

    P.S. Thanx for the review, Jose -- I'm afraid I forgot that part in my excitement! ;)

"Watching those judges' faces..." The most precious line in an exceptional piece, and I envy you, my friend. God bless you and your whole family, Yvette. I was completely charmed.

You have a right to be proud of him. He's very cute, as well as talented. I bet everyone enjoyed that performance. If he gets bored with electrical engineering he may have a future in the theater!

Oh we do love to brag about the little ones in our lives, and clearly you are no exception! It's probably a good thing that siblings and/or friends are there for balance. LOL

Love the witty title of your emotional, brilliantly composed true story flash.

Best of luck in the contest..

Blessings Julia

He's a very handsome lad. Your story is well-written very interesting. Of course, you have bragging rights, after all, you're his mom. I'm glad that he continues to polish his talent, what he loves.

    Thanx so much, Heather -- always so good to hear from you, ma'am!! ;)
    Please forgive my 'running behind' ... as mid-terms close in, my tutoring schedule has ballooned and my 'free time' has all but vanished! Exams are next week so there is a light at the end of the tunnel - LOL! :) A very Merry Christmas to you from my little corner of the world!! ;) Yvette
