i wish i knew the backstory, anni. but knowing it couldn't make this poem better since it's already perfect. it's good to hear from you again.

Thank you to both Brian and RARoberts.

Ms. Forte - the quick backstory on this one: I'm a sucker (sucker!) for pseudo-medical dramas. I was watching Mercy (I think) and there was a scene where a daughter was able to, at the last minute, come to say goodbye to her mother. Both of my parents died quickly and unexpectedly, so none of us were ever able to say a proper goodbye. And that scene reminded me of it.

I think life is calming down enough so that I can be back more often. (YAY!)

"I think life is calming down enough so that I can be back more often."

I hear your song, sugar...

Very touching. Pretty much explains why an audience has to suspend its sense of disbelief. It's good to hear from you again, Anni.

Grand and strong. I do miss so many that I never bid farewell.

Just found you, from Stim's blog, whom I just found from Greg's. One of many I keep finding to say hello to. Touching, eloquent verse.

A fine tribute, AnniThyme. It's hard to lose someone that early in life. I can tell it still hurts.

You captured this so well. Things rarely go the way they do on the silver screen do they?
