Just wonderful, Pat! I've been there and done that and suffered the after guilt but it was a long, long time ago. You brought it all back to me, in beautiful detail. On a separate writerly note, it's interesting how details like these, carefully selected, lend total authenticity to the story.
Oh, Nancy, I so appreciate you! When I came across that photo of the kids at the creek I had a huge PTSD moment--and consoled myself with watermelon. Motherhood! go figure.
I’m not a mom, so I can’t relate. But I greatly appreciate your honesty and how you’ve written your narrative. It’s beautiful.
Thanks Natalie
I appreciate your candor in this piece, Pat. Can relate to so much of it. As Nancy mentioned, beautiful detail.
Thanks, Domenica. and thanks for subscribing. It means a lot!
