Hello Smurphgirlsasha, Your letter is most heartfelt and beautifully stated, and I learned some things about you too--and some of those things can be said for myself too, i.e. I am "rhyming challenged" and I love dandelions which remind me of summers at my grandmothers house in PA. I, too, do not view them as a weed. Also, you ended your letter in "always," a favorite of mine reserved for a special few. S-sasha, I'll have to take a look at your portfolio. Your heart is broken and I'm at a loss for words which seldom happens.
And so ...
Tonight I'll sprinkle stardust
and I hope if finds
our Poet friend, Brooke.
Sincerely, LateBloomer

Thank you so very much. I am definitely not a poet but to my shock have actually won a couple of free verse contests...go figure. Brooke was SO proud of me too. I sincerely appreciate the lovely 6 stars.
Comment from Cranial Thinker
Simply stunning and so very full of true honest hearted expressions of empathetic plutonic compassionate caring love exuding straight from your heart of hearts directly to the heart of Brooke, Miranda and Sawyer an encircling of wrapped around arms as in the context I'll never let you go because it hurts to much....A missing something in the physical sense but forever held in the spiritual memory safely tucked away in your second heart be always seen in your mind so full of vibrant clear real images, forever alive in true animation and not as in imagination but very real indeed....So very deeply moving my truest friend ever....Cranial Thinker

Thank you so very much. Brooke is a dear, dear friend and very ill and in the hospital. My heart is just broken as it doesn't sound like she will get much better. I sincerely appreciate the lovely 6 stars.
Comment from maggieadams
This is so well written and heartfelt. But, I need to know what happened? I have been out of the loop, and have no idea about Brooke's illness? I was wondering where her poems were or her lovely reviews. Seems like we lose the very special too young. I read your mole story, too...you crack me up with your descriptions (a hole-punched mannequin !). Please take care.

Apparently Brooke was recently diagnosed with severe aggressive MS and is currently in the hospital. This is very serious and I fear she may not get better. It just breaks my heart to know that she and her dear family are going through this difficult time and there is nothing we can do other than offer our prayers, love and support.
Comment from Tellis
This is a very sweet letter and I loved the part where you replanted the dandelions after your mother pulled them up. I didn't know that Brook was sick, Is it bad? Please let me know as even though I'm not much on poetry I always thought her reviews were very helpful and would dearly miss her.

I was told she was recently diagnosed with severe aggressive MS which is very serious. She is currently in the hospital and her daughter, Miranda, is doing her best to keep us updated. It doesn't sound good. MS is bad enough but aggressive MS is the worst type you can have.
Comment from Gloria ....
I think is absolutely wonderful, and it's refreshing and really neat to have some prose mixed with the array of poetry. Throughout your write, I laughed and cried and in the end just sighed.
Beautiful letter that Brooke and her family will cherish forever I'm sure.

Thank you so much. Brooke will understand why I didn't write a poem...she knows I am a lousy poet.
Comment from Spitfire
Oh Sasha, no one could ask for such a heartfelt letter. And what a relief, after all that poetry. As you see a 5-7-5 is all I could manage. Love the personal details and the part about sadness as sometimes the best expression of love.

I have been crying all week and just had to write something. Brooke will understand why I didn't write a poem...she knows I am a lousy poet.

Yep, I got that part. LOL
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
This is truly beautiful, and I know Brooke will love reading it. The words come straight from your heart and say many of the things we feel as well. Thank you for sharing this with us. :)

It was hard to write but I had to say something. Brooke will understand why I didn't write a poem...she knows I am a lousy poet.
Comment from Deejharrington
That was a beautiful letter. But, I am really out of the loop. Brooke is ill? I haven't been reading /reviewing anyone but you and a few others. I was just thinking that tomorrow when my computer and internet are running, I can do a lot of catching up. Tell me what's going on. I have always loved and admired her poetry. She is an amazing talent.

Brooke was recently diagnosed with severe aggressive MS which is very serious. She is currently in the hospital and we are all waiting to hear about her progress, which, to be honest, does not sound good.
-
That is heartbreaking. I am so sorry to hear that. It is a horrible disease that robs the body but leaves a person's mind. My ex has it. I know they aren't much closer to finding a cure now then 20 yrs ago when he was diagnosed. She is such a positive soul, I'll pray for her and her family.
Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
Through copious tears all I can say is this is the most beautiful expression of true love and friendship I have ever been honored to read. We all know it is on God's hands and the one solace is that whatever happens she will know how much we all loved and appreciated her. God bless for such a stunning write.

I know it was. But at least you were able to say it rather than regret not having done so later. HUGS & KISSES

This is a lovely heartfelt and sincere letter to Brook. I wish I knew what is going on with her. Everyone else seems to. Whatever it is, I pray she recovers from it soon.

She was recently diagnosed with severe aggressive MS which is quite serious. My heart and love go out to her family in this difficult time.
-
OMG. I though MS was usually diagnosed in early middle age like the 40's. That's terrible. My prayers and best wishes are with her and her family.
-
Yes, it usually is but aggressive MS is the worst of them all and less likely to get better.
-
I had never heard of this. Here I had thought was home free getting this old without having that one. (I've had plenty of other stuff.) I thought Alzheimer, heart attack, cancer or stroke was all that was left to worry about.

There are several members here that have MS. What Brooke has is severe aggressive MS, a rare and very serious form.
-
I wrote a poem for Brook. How do I add it to book the site is setting up for her?
-
Go to the bottom of the post and you will see an icon 'new chapter' (this is a multi author book) and just click it. You and add your poem. The chapter numbers got a bit messed up and you can pick 1,000 whatever, or go back and see the actual chronological number of the next in line.

Thanks
