I have found some of her works now and then. They are delightful and quite good. It appears she's done well in a lot of contests too. I join you in wishing her a happy birthday. Gretchen

You are the Birthday Queen, Debbie. And maybe the Birthday Fairy as well, bestowing birthday poems on all of us here at FanStory. That is really such a sweet thing to do. It's a way of giving and using your talents.
This Irish birthday blessing is particularly beautiful.
Happy Birthday, Nicki B. Glad you are here.

I have yet to meet Nicki B. I can tell from this Irish birthday tribute that it is my loss. I do with Nicki B a special birthday. Thank you for sharing this birthday wish with you. You do so much good for FanStory.

This birthday (late) tribute poem you have written here includes friendly, pertinent details about Nicki B. I liked reading it, especially the detail about the daughters. Very nice share.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You are one very talented poet., Miss Debi. Every tribute you write contains warmth and friendship. Have you had any of your poetry published? Your quality of writing certainly warrants publication.

Bob, I don't think there are any words to tell you how much I appreciate your lovely comments.
You have made me smile so much every time I read this so that is why I don't want to send this review on its way by answering it. Haha. But I do appreciate you so much, dear friend, love, Debi

Wow. How fortunate is Nicki B to have received one of the famous Debi birthday poems. She'll join a long line of us who've received such fine poems.

You did a great job of telling us about Nicki and here Irish roots though only here a short time.

I see a few stuffed cabbages going her way...

Thank Debi...

Cheers,
John

Hi John, I thank you for your wonderful comments for Nicki and her poem.
They mean the world to both of us.

And we both so very much appreciated you being our leprechaun chef stuffed cabbage dish.

And for all the lovely stars and having some fun with us. You are the best lil bro.
Nicki would also like me to thank you for your kind wishes.

Thanks again, my very dear friend. Love, Debi

An excellent birthday poem for Nicki, Debi. I've never been to Ireland, but all the people I know who have been say it's a beautiful place. I have lots of friends who are Irish as well. An excellent piece, I hope she Nicki has a great day celebrating.

Perfect for a birthday celebration for Nikki or a walk on the beach, for that matter. A beautiful setting, a wonderful poem, and lovely wishes for the birthday girl. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIKKI!

Hope you enjoyed your day but with a beach to walk your pup, everyday must be awesome. Debi did another outstanding job as always and I am happy we all could share time with you.

Smiles, Carol

Awe Debi I absolutely love it! You literally included everything that I sent, you are such a legend! I'm so happy with it, I'm sorry I never got back to you on the picture I was sleeping, but honestly that fits perfectly there's a beach about 10 min drive from where I live called Goat Island and it's quite similar to the image funnily enough!
Thank you so much for being so kind to me and for your time and generousity and wonderful talent in writing this gorgeous poem.
Your friend Nicki xx

Hi Nicki, are you still reading your reviews as they are still coming?
It has been a whirlwind with birthdays, Nomi's wife's death and my eye getting worse. So I think I will write something telling people because Helen (Lyenochka) wrote and asked for prayers for me. So now I have people asking me and I think I best. But I will tell you that this week on Friday they will make the decision on the stem cell thing. I am appreciating any prayers. Thanks Hon.

reply by Nicki.B on 09-Sep-2024

Oh Debi you are really going through the wars, I cannot believe it all started with covid, that God forsaken virus has had such detrimental damage on people. I lit my 'Lady of Lourdes' candle today and Prayed that your eye will be healthy and with the help of God you'll see again.
You are strong you've got this!
Yes the reviews are amazing and I have had people pop onto my portfolio to review my poems which has been absolutely amazing! I saw earlier Debbie's poem I welled up it was so beautiful, we are all rooting for you. With all those prayers and lighting candles you'll come right out the other side and will be well!

reply by the author on 09-Sep-2024

Thank you for your prayers, sweet friend. You are so special.

reply by Nicki.B on 09-Sep-2024

Best of luck with the procedures Debi I'll be thinking and praying for you x

I loved this one, Debs, what with introducing me to another new member, and from Ireland, with a nice birthday poem, is a lovely way to meet someone. And she has a leprechaun chef! LOL! Like it!

I hear you are have an infection in your eye, don't over-do it on the laptop! Everyone has you in their prayers, my sweet friend. Love you lots. Sandra xxxx

Yes, I am limited with my screen time. But it is so hard when I obligate ahead of time to do these I hate to let people down. Y'know?
And It has been a whirlwind with birthdays, Nomi's wife's death and my eye problem. So I think I will write something telling people because Helen (Lyenochka) wrote and asked for prayers for me. And don't get me wrong, I do appreciate it, but didn't know until lately. So now I have people asking me and I think I best write about it. But I will tell you that this week I think are going to start getting me ready for a stem cell transplant in my eye. Last effort before cornea transplant. But I don't think they are thinking anymore that I will lose the eye. But they did and they meant literally. Ugh... I am appreciating any prayers. Thanks Hon.

I appreciate all the kind words for Nicki and her poem too. Love, Debi
