Hi there,
Might want to do a recount for wordage here. I make it 98 and it needs to be exactly 100.
It's a really nice little piece but if you don't up the count, it'll get disqualified

I liked the concept of your story - including memories of the dead so closely with family living. The chair becomes deeply symbolic, an integral part of the lounge room (which, where I live, is also known as the living room).

Lisa,
Thank you for taking your time to review my story. I do like the name living room better than lounge room.
The story was successful in winning the contest.
Take care.
Cheers

The mother in this story has such a positive attitude, the children unaware of the importance of the chair love it for different reasons. It will always be dad's chair. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is such a touching write and I could identify with your words as these objects bring back those memories and learn to live without someone we love. I particularly loved this line: "I admired how she dealt with death as if it was life. Perhaps it was". A fine presentation for the contest, a winner for me, love Dolly x

Nicely done. Your wife and I are on the same page regarding death. I hope that my old easy chair will stay in use after I have gone to the other side.
