This work has reached the exceptional level

This was well written and it made me cry. I just love how your best buddy is/was your son. This was definitely written from the heart. I will add I am so sorry for your loss and hopefully writing this poem was a form of therapy that helped in some way.

Bittersweet poem flows well, is easy to understand, and is excellent for the prompt. Excellent picture! Thank you for raising awareness about organ donation, and good on you for making that hard decision in the depths of your sorrow and saving many lives. Blessings for the New Year.

    Thanks Kathleen for enjoying this poem about Jason and what he had done his mission is job on Earth to die to give life is a very Noble thought and a very Rarity indeed I've always tell people when I talk about this cuz it can be effective sometimes in the negative way that the odds of you being in that situation or greater than being eaten by great white shark and struck by lightning in that Atlantic Ocean thanks for this doctor Ricky 1024 and happy New Year

My sincerest condolence on the loss of your son. Based upon your other works, I know he means so much to you. Thank you for keeping his memory alive with your fine poetry. He is smiling from Heaven because he has a great dad.

May the Lord be with you.

I liked this chapter of your story and thought you expressed it well, your son lives on through the donation of his organs and your thoughts of what his response to you must give you great hope to live on and wait for your time to see him again. A nice read.
