I hope the part about the cancer is not true, that's a nasty way to crush the party! But from my own experience, my dad got to enjoy the world with this nasty disease. Until the last day he dreamed about the next trip.

Thanks for the nice words and review. Sadly the cancer is true, but it's a very early stage and the doc says not life threatening.
Comment from Andrea Kepple
Interesting choice you made on how to frame your life and things that happened to you along the way using flowers and a garden. You communicated a lot of emotion through this story.

A beautiful piece of writing. The best of these entries that I've read. The metaphors make it perfect and the language you use is exquisite at times. Well done and I wish you every bit of luck for the competition.

Aw, thank you Dolly. High praise coming from such a wonderful poet. Now the ending could go two ways. It could also mean I am finally ready, alive, to enter the garden.
Comment from Lisasview
I just reread your story for the Your Life in 150 words, and I just do not understand why if you sobbed and sobbed from happiness that your mother spanked and spanked you??
Hope to hear from you as I would love to know what your thoughts are.

I was happy about the wallpaper so I cried. I was sad about the spankings so I cried. Thanks for asking.
Comment from Mario PIERRE
Your story accomplishes exactly what was requested in the prompt: stretch a mere 150 words to recount a life, from A to Z. I like the metaphorical use of the theme 'garden'. And the cancer weed not tough enough to conquer life!!!
Very well-constructed story.

God bless you! I hope you are cancer free and remain cancer free! I enjoyed your writing and you did well with this difficult challenge of 150 words. Then again, if you could survive cancer you can do anything! Best wishes!

Thank you so much. Yes, for now anyway, I am cancer free. Nice of you to ask.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
This is like a theme and variation on Cat's Cradle. What you want has eluded you your entire life, including now when the time you thought you'd finally have is running out.
Excellent cautionary tale, but I'm really sorry your life took that turn. Sending you heartfelt kindness. xo
