Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca

Exceptional

My love and prayers go out to you.
I lost my twin sons and their wives in a car train accident and it took me a while to find peace in God, who I blamed for a few years.
There is never closure, don't let anyone say there is and you really don't want closure, I don't want to block them from my memory.
I want to believe that my children were there to greet your son.
You are right in your words. In everything you said.

Dear lord in heaven, Barb, you have my sincere condolences. No, I don't ever want to have closure. Never, i won't, anyway.

I knew there was something special about you. We belong to the club that no one asks to join.

Much love, sister.

I can't imagine what you have been through with the death of your son. I'm glad you have found God and I hope you take comfort in knowing you will be reunited again in heaven.

Luna,

This poem was heart-wrenching. Very painful. Understandable and thought provoking but especially insightful comments. Very descriptive and created impressions that are very vivid and understandable.

There was nothing wrong that I could tell.

Your feelings are very understandable and expressed through the poem.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Now, I understand from rereading your others the questions I asked earlier.
These kinds of poems have a special place with me, and how you have written it with hurt, understanding and dignity. The strength of the write is in the genuine depth of emotion that I felt with every word.
I wish you all solace, dear author for you have written well here, and we share your pain as both mother and one who had only so much against a system and aura that has easy targets.
My very best to you.
I have no six stars or this one , certainly, would have.
You have a lovely day.
RGstar

I'm not a sestina expert but it looks like you nailed it.
Compassion is what this poem is all about and it is clear you have so much for those who suffer from the same disease as your son.
Excellent job!

A well-written tribute to your son. Your well-chosen heartfelt words flowed line to line combining easily and forming the message of the poem for the reader. Your artwork and background color completed the piece very well.

Thank you, Teri. To me, he was the handsomest alive. I'll never forget his smell.

I couldn't get by without my itty bitty mustard seed of belief!
