It would be out of place for me to comment, from a real world perspective, on this important event in your life. <br /><br />On the other hand, from a writerly perspective, you've managed in this little piece to do what so many aspiring--and many accomplished!--writers fail to do: you got the truth on the page.<br /><br />If you can find a way to make that process reproducible and real, time after time, I think you can give a great many people the same gift your "native Vermonter" gave you.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this. It really made me stop, look around, and appreciate my world.<br /><br />:)Jon Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824815967445843124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-23878121669813662322010-07-14T07:18:56.640-04:002010-07-14T07:18:56.640-04:00Oh wow!

You see things differently, respond to the world and people more openly, and people react to you in much the same way they did with her. She taught you that lesson. Because you learned it, she lives on in you. Isn't that an amazing thing? What a blessing.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-47738967562047398602010-07-12T17:00:02.792-04:002010-07-12T17:00:02.792-04:00You put an ache in my throat and tears in my eyes....You put an ache in my throat and tears in my eyes.
