Thanks so very much, Regina for this lovely review and such sweet comments. I always appreciate you so much and yes, if you haven't met Cecilia yet, she is relatively new, but she is a sweetheart. Kinda like you!!
Love, Debi

What a kind thing to say, Bill. Thank you very much. I know Cecilia will also enjoy reading your greeting. She has been on there everyday since it started. I think she is in shock how close our bunch really is.
Love, Debi

Hi Debi, this is a lovely tribute to Cecila, a mother, poet, and patriot.
Of special note:
And though she gardens, her writing is where she'll plant her seeds
(plant her seeds and spread her word.)
Well done. Whenever I hear the name Cecila, I think of the song, Cecila by Simon and Garfunkel.
Cecila, a woman who has worn many hats. Well done. Xo. M

Hello my SOTU, I thank you my sweet sis for your kind words for Cecilia and her poem. I know she will appreciate reading your message too. And I sang the song the whole time writing this. LOL.
Love, Debi

It does seem like I write a lot about people you don't know but I see that changes with my next one. I still appreciate the sweet reviews and kind words each time. Thanks so much, my awesome friend. Love, Debi

Happy (belated) birthday to Cecilia! I'm running way behind in reviews so my "belated" is more "belater" than most. (smile)
Great job tucking in all those bio-facts in rhyme and exceptionally toe-tapping meter!
Cecilia is new, but she's fitting right in, and this is a delightful way to introduce her!

Hey Babe, thank you so much for this precious review. It is ok to be belated as her birthday was two days after mine. When she told me it was only a day past and although I was swamped already I couldn't make her wait a whole year. Especially when she was new and I could help her get acquainted.
And so glad I did because found out that not only did she live 15 miles from me, but her husband's nephew lived in the same town as where we are from and died of a fentanyl OD from our home town of Maple Lake. And everyone knows everyone at ML. There is maybe 1000 people there. So sad. So I am so happy I am getting to know her even better.
Thanks for your kind comments my very very dear friend. Love, Debi

That's a coincidence...being practically neighbors! (I'm unclear on if this is now or before...)
Still, very nice poem and a truly delightful birthday greeting for Celicila!

He died in 2022. But how strange that their nephew was from Maple Lake. My kids said he seemed like a nice guy. They know how hard it was on me to get off the narcotics that the doctor pushed on me. However, I was in such agony. But it didn't take me long to get hooked and stay hooked for many years. The only difference is I weaned off and stayed off for all this time. I am petrified of them because I loved them so much. Every day just seemed like all was well in the world. So that is why I did both knee surgeries without any. Believe it or not nurses argued and said nobody does them without. LOL. I proved them wrong, but still suffer today and I wonder if I had taken them I would have had more strength to do what the therapist wanted me to. Maybe that is the difference and why I still can barely walk.
Comment from EeanBlack
I'll look her up. I'm an Army and Navy veteran. Thank America for allowing me to serve. Another lovely poem is promoting another lovely member. Are you a suck-up? You're a really good one though. Has anyone done one of you? Anything about your husband, the family, likes or dislikes? Anything that ANYBODY at all could use to celebrate the kindness you bring? Much of God's love to you.

Oh, Eean, my friend, I thank you for your service. And no, these poems take a minimum of 12 hours go write in order to get the meter and rhyme perfect and make sense. Plus what it costs to promote them, I'd have to be a really big sucker, more than suck-up. LOL.. The truth is in my morning prayers for years. I always ask God to help me be a blessing to everyone I am in contact with that day. But when Covid hit I was made to stay away from everyone because I have lupus.
It was so lonely not seeing my grandchildren especially. When I finished the book I had done for my family, God led me to FanStory, but it wasn't long and I found out that God has a sense of humor, that I was the one who was blessed.
That is when God put it in my head to offer these poems to anyone who wanted them and they ended up being biographical ones and everyone loved them. I did over two hundred last year. Now, I do ask but they mostly come to me now.. you see, now I can be a blessing to others and I know it is God leading me.
A couple weeks ago I had a birthday and had 13 poems written for me. It was overwhelmingly wonderful. But you are so sweet and I thank you for your thoughtful gesture. And God's love back to you, my dear friend.
Love, Debi

All I did was say hello. LOL
-
Ooh, I meant nothing by it.
-
Have I mentioned I have also been voted the gabbiest person here. LOL
-
This, this empty reply from you, is the one everybody on Fanstory has been waiting for, and, you blessed me with it!

Every reply, just in a million different words. A million and one actually, I just did a word count.
Comment from Pam (respa)
Very nice artwork and presentation, Debi. Your notes are appreciated. You wrote a very good tribute for Cecilia. Effective imagery and rhyme. Good opening verses let us know where she is from and the make up of her family. A very good verse about how Fanstorians are proud of those who serve their country. A very nice closing couplet, as well. Very well done, my friend.
You have made your country proud by serving in two different capacities, Cecilia. You also have many varied interests. I am glad I got you know you a little better. Hope you had a very nice birthday.

Hmph.. I read this the other day, and wrote back to you. Maybe I never sent it? Duh!!
I'll have to look up Cecelia as she is a newcomer here. Got to make her feel welcome right off the bat!
Great post, sis...
