Hi Wendy,
firstly, a big fat sincere congratulations on such and achievement and milestone in your writing career/pleasure.
So, I'm not going to tell you how insignificant I may now feel after reading this post, as yet again I see and read these mammoth milestones appear before my eyes reminding me... maybe I may make my third post and be rated as a poet/writer sometime this year? Well, one can hope can't one? Smile(((((((.
I'm sort of glad I read this story after your mother's day tribute... hmmmm tribute? As I would have again given an exceptional rating on this story as well, but alas, and yes the site's old cliché... I'm sorry I have no six's left... and that sort of reminds me of that song, I have no bananas, I have no bananas today. How bizarre? I must be losing it! Hmmmm, lost it?
A great example of the usage and conservation of word and explanation to construct a tight and neat conclusion... thanks for today's lesson teach!
I enjoyed reading your creative take in this story/essay... and yes, you are a writer, a weaver of words and thoughts, respected as such by me and from what I can ascertain, many other peers within our community.
With our thoughts we create...
purpose.
Kind regards,
James.

Thank you for a wonderful review. I appreciate your support more than you know. If you write when you can that?s enough. It?s the pleasure of the journey and not a competition. If you enjoy reviewing that too is good. One thing you are very good at is encouragement. And that is a significant and important gift. It is always very greatly appreciated too.

Comment from Debra White
Congratulations on your milestone, Wendy! And you SHOULD be proud and excited!! Go you, you writer!
I really enjoyed your post. I related those milestones as I read through... I'm a while off being a grandparent (I hope!) as my children are still in their teens, but I celebrate each of each child's (and my own) achievements as they arise - there are so many!!
A lovely positive post which I enjoyed reading :)
Best wishes, Debra

Thank you Debra. I think it is wonderful to be aware of and to celebrate one?s children?s milestones, even into their teens. They will feel and respond to your appreciation of their growing up process. Thank you so much for your very encouraging review and congratulations. Very greatly appreciated.

Comment from jmdg1954
That on its own deserves a 6 star rating. Quite an achievement, my dear friend! I'm no where near that quantity, nor quality as you always put forth.
Congrats once again. Cheers... Now let's reach for the 1,000th... John

Thank you for a lovely review. You are travelling to your daughter?s place? Or local? Take care. I am still praying for your daughters and grandchildren.

Thank you for your prayers!
Hoping our youngest daughter will have a good job and housing situation as she's not moving with us. We just dropped off our nephew who came to help us. More views of our house are planned on Monday. Heading home now, a ferry ride and a couple of hours

Comment from Mary Vigasin
Congratulations on a remarkable milestone.
This a beautifully written essay to remind us that milestones can be reached regardless of age. Just like a two-year-old, we should be excited every time we reach a goal,
Best wishes,
Mary

Thank you Mary. Such a lovely review. As time passes we may have to adjust our goals, but it?s still important to have some.

Comment from royowen
I spoke with someone on the phone yesterday who remarked I didn't sound as old as I was, I simply said, age is only a number, I still have plans, ambitions and aspirations, I haven't lain down yet, I don't think of myself as old, I want to see my loved ones reach their milestones, I don't want that interrupted just yet. Beautifully written Wendy, blessings Roy

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I feel this way when I manage to open a packet these days as getting into some products even with a pair of scissors is like breaking into Fort Knox! I always shout! (I did it). Congrats on your 750 milestone Wendy and this is a fun and endearing write about your Granddaughter and how you celebrate with her when she achieves those little milestones, love your story here, love Dolly x

Thanks so much Dolly. I agree. And vacuum sealed jars hat are so hard to open! And the tiny instructions in size 4 font in pale printing. Ugh. That?s what makes me feel old. Thanks too for the congratulations.

Comment from Spitfire
Congratulations! I loved your list of milestones that included minor things like pushing oneself on the swing. Cute picture. Great examples throughout especially the sky diver at 80. I put that on my bucket list but have discarded the idea for fear of messing up my spine again.

Thanks so much Shari. I?m not brave enough to sky dive. I wouldn?t enjoy it at all. I like to keep my feet on the ground. Thanks for the congratulations.
