There really os no kinder birthday wish than one from the heart. And Wendy, this was definitely from the heart. Very sweet poem for someone who did something unnecessary and unexpected. Beautiful sentiment. Gretchen

Many thanks Gretchen. Yes. It was so unexpected and such a delightful surprise. And then thinking of her reading and reviewing for hours on end, and she said she thoroughly enjoyed herself - but she did all this for no reward! I was truly amazed. Thanks for a lovely review!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is a lovely tribute to dear Karenina who has made such an impact on the site and always goes the extra mile in her reviewing and care to others. In fact, I usually end up with more factual material in perfect prose, worthy of a post in its own right. I will definitely be wishing her a happy birthday tomorrow and thank you, Wendy, for sharing this news in such a caring message. Debbie xo

Thanks so much, Debbie. You are exactly right. Many of her reviews are worth keeping for their information, insight and wit and humour. Never a cut and paste. She apparently has done the same for many people.

Comment from Terry Broxson
Wendy, you have underestimated your poetry ability. But the main thing is you have chosen a wonderful lady to recognize with your writing. She does do this for others. And if she is still a review or two short, she will ask her friends to help her get it across the finish line to ATB. Excellent. Terry.

That is quite extraordinary! Her reviews themselves are praiseworthy for insight, information, wit and humour. Never a cut and paste. She is a gem.

Comment from karenina
Dear Wendy!
What a delightful surprise! Thank you so much for helping me ease into this big "70" birthday...
It had be down there for a while, until I remembered to count my blessings.
You are one of those blessings, dear woman!
As I told you, reading and reviewing your work was a gift I gave myself...
It was so much fun to dig way back into your portfolio and if I found posts that needed one review more for "Recognized" or "ATB" it was a joy to
offer that!
Thanks so much for your stories... And hey, this poem is terrific! You can truly write anything!
I'm honored and thrilled!

I am so glad my little effort gave you joy. I have since found that you do this regularly for others and I hope each one gets as much joy as I did. You may be turning seventy but you are enriching the lives of many and I hope that the joy and pleasure you give returns to you multiplied.
Over here, Monday has begun so I am thinking of you and sending special wishes your way. And I am glad you enjoyed my poetic effort too.
Thank you so much for the six stars.
Hugs.
Wendy

It's 3:53 AM Monday morning! In typical style I had to stay up until 3:33 AM as that was the time of my birth.
(smile)
You're an angel on FS Wendy!
It's always a joy to read you...
Thanks again!

This is a wonderful tribute to our fellow writer Karenina. I enjoyed listening to it very much wish you the very best with all of your writing. It is always good to see you here. I have been curious about why you were away for a while it seemed, but I understand that you've been, working with a family member in the hospital. Patricia.

Thank you very much Patricia! Six lovely stars, each one greatly valued. Everyone loves Karenina for her quiet unselfish acts and insightful reviews. She is quite amazing.
I value your lovely review.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
The sixth star rewarded is not for your words, though I enjoyed them dearly, especially the poem that reminds me of a child receiving her first puppy, but for the love extended Karenina. I find her to be as you disposed.

Yes, Karenina, is someone who really knows how to tug and your heart strings and become your friend forever. She did that for me as well. Don't put your poem down. It is excellent. I'm sure she will appreciate it.
