OMG was my first response. This is so good and I love it. I cried all the way thru on the first read. I love the flow of how beautifully you tied together the elements of this writing. I can learn from you . Me crying over poems is my radar to a beautiful poem. If you can make me cry, you did real good. This was a lot of work I bet. If this was easy to write, I am super jealous of your talent. It's always such a pleasure to read everything you write. I really mean it. I'm not just buttering you up. LOL
