'I'm Here' is inspiring for the faith it eludes. A lot of story is told in so few words.
The writing is beautiful and deserving to be a top winner.
Congratulations!

Excellent tale. I wish you the best in the contest. The story line flowed well. The theme was nice.
There was no SPAG. No room for improvement.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,

blind poet - I have a feeling this story is going to win. It has the pathos, the touching situation, a forlorn mother and a hint of faith. Nicely done.

The contest rules of 100 words demanded a story with more communication in less words and you have done it successfully. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hi,
This is such a touching story. I have knelt beside my husband's grave and talked to him like the woman in your story. Somehow it is very comforting and he has given me more than one sign that he hears me. Well done and good luck in the contest. Blessings....chey

"Can't" is a word you cannot find in a strong person's dictionary. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an easy read. Good luck in your contest.

Yes, sometimes when we are at our lowest, we receive that spark of divine inspiration and hope that allows us to continue on. Good celestial and terrestrial descriptions. Excellent juxtaposition of picture and story.
