Beautiful story. The characters felt so real and lovable. You have a wonderful gift of storytelling. Your friend, Mike, told me of your work. I am glad I checked it out. I am looking forward to reading some of your books as well.

Everyone needs a little help now and then and no one has too little that he cannot help. This is a really encouraging and hopeful piece. It is beautiful and has such a wonderful yet simple message!

It has been a long time since I have read a story such as this. It's a beautiful story. I felt that you had to have gone to Ireland and saw the land and talked to the people, from the way you described it. Such a nice job, I thought as I read this story that it wasn't me reading it, but someone from Ireland reading it to me. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you.

This was such a treat. I spent a summer in Ireland a few years ago. I'd live there in a minute, it's that lovely. Your story is as well. And I loved the video. Thanks for alerting me. God bless.

Tough times, Sally? I must admit that it is tough... all around the world. I have forgotten the smiles with all those masked people walking around. It makes me sad to see someone in need, life is hard everywhere. I'm happy to read stories, poems from people like you that try to cheer someones heart. I try to write and started... then my computer when on the frizz. I'm typing on an old one that I brought from Brownsville to Hondo. It's just my wife an I here in the boondocks. Working on the house, living day by day. I need to let out my feelings, but all I feel is sad and there's enough of that going around. Thank you for the story, Sally. Take care of yourself and your loved one.

Oh, I've had my share - having done animal rescue for 10 years, among other things.

I love how you've depicted the selflessness, altruism and kindness. I wish there were people like that in the world.
Excellent use of a dialogue and descriptive imagery.

I loved the description of the summertime in Ireland, the country I always wanted to visit:

"Summertime in Ireland is like a shooting star, breathtakingly beautiful, but fleeting.

The grass is a wild array of verdant fields, laden with the most recent drizzle, dotted here and there with Sheep's Bit and Bog-rosemary. But when the sky is blue, and wind somewhat tolerable, it's heaven on earth."

This was a real treat.

Sally, you definitely deserve the #4 all-time best. You must know a lot about Irish lore and how touching and magical it is, because your story is as if it were written by an Irishwoman. The ending is so sad, yet joyous in its implications. Good luck, Sally.
Blessings,
Cindy

I thought you created a couple of endearing characters here in the compassionate doctor and the eager, loveable girl. Also a great bedside scene with that dialogue between the doctor and the dying mother. Nice attention to detail, i think you set the scene well and introduced your theme with that wonderful description of the Irish countryside in the early summer. A vision of hope. estory

There are blessings that come to us if we are generous and pay a bill for someone and it is a bigger blessing that they never knew who paid.
