Fresh twist re remission vs dismissal with bonus MISS alliteration! That alone earns your stars. Poignant overall. Good opener smacked in the head. Cheers. LIZ

Thank you so much for reading and for your encouraging review.
Comment from TheManojArora
Firstly, I am commenting on the literary quality of the prose, and not on the emotions expressed in the story.
My dear Dad is gone. Rephrase this.
They told us his in remission! - He was in remission. OR He'd gone into remission.
They have never said dismissal. - They never said
A miracle happened, you waited for me two days -for me for two days
I hope you find the feedback helpful. Again, I am commenting on the prose, not the underlying emotions in the story. I do not know if the story is true. But it has been submitted to FICTION contest. That's all.

Thank you so much for sharing your honest feedback and helping me correct my mistakes. English is my third language and probably I will never be able to master it to perfection. The story is real, my dad died last year, but you made a good point so I took my author notes out. One more time thank you so much for your support and stay safe wherever you are. Iza

Good luck in the contest!

This is a sad piece to read. I'm sorry about your dad. You did an excellent job and I didn't find any errors to relate to you. Stay healthy in this time of our evil bug. Shirley
