Why you little sneaky author! Imagine my delight in finding out your story was here. What can I say except, beautifully written, and very tender. Oh, how you weave those words to make such a lovely piece of art. Thanks for the sweet ending too.

Well done.

OMG TREE! I'm sitting here sobbing just like Grace, and wishing this would happen to me... :-) WHAT a wonderful story! You are so unbelievably wonderful...

You have got to try and get this published. There are all sorts of magazines that, if they have their heads on at ALL straight, will love this... such a beautiful tale, so gorgeously written, so real...

Just a beautiful job. Thank you SO much, I needed this SO badly this morning... :-) I thought of you as I drove through "lover, slower Delaware" yesterday evening...

Hugs,

Hello, Treehugger - remember me?

This was a beautiful, poignant story. I could guess, of course, that the boy would come again and she would join him in the sea, but it was so wonderfully done, sad and joyful at the same time.

I could really feel the pain and stiffness and inconvenience of old age, especially contrasted against Grace's youth.

I'm so glad you're writing again!
