This is a beautiful sonnet. I'm sorry for the loss of your grandson, I know how devastated you must have been. I believe with all my heart that those we have lost, can look down on us and know what's in our hearts. He read this, I'm positive. Thank you for sharing.

Dear amada, you have done an excellent job in writing this, your very first Sonnet! !
I think the very best thing that you have done, is write about someone, that you really loved, because that love, and the fact that he had been a part of your life, shows in the words that you have written.

This is a gorgeous sonnet. I didn't see anywhere in the notes so wanted to ask if it is a true story. It's moving and personal and incredibly authentic.

I love sonnets too. Knowing how difficult this week has been for you --the anniversary of Anthony's death--I marvel at the depth of emotion and love you've flawlessly woven into this superbly executed Shakespearean Sonnet!
A woman of faith--I am certain he is watching you from on high--positive he has read this over your shoulder as you carefully selected every word and rhyme. I am SO sorry for your grief, Helen...and so blessed to call you a friend!--Karenina

Amada:

First, please let me relay my condolences to you for the loss of your grandson. I cannot even begin to imagine how horrible that must have been - and continues to be. I have never written a sonnet, Shakespearean or any other kind, for that matter, but I appreciate the work it took for you to craft this tribute to Anthony.

This sonnet, For Anthony, has the proper formatting and brings the joy of having such a boy together with the pain of his loss. So happy were finally able to put it together so well.
