Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Barbara,
It's peculiar that it's taken this long to run into you. I've been a member of Fanstory since June of 2010, a retirement gift to myself. I thought you must be new to this writing community.
Your daughter's passing must have been very hard for you. But you have that knowledge that you'll see her again. This life is short, but eternity in Heaven... well, I can't even fathom what awaits us.
You've created nice imagery here. It reminds me of walking along Seaview Beach in Prince Edward Island with our cairn terrier, Annie. She is gone now, but I close my eyes and I can still see her little footprints in the sand. She'd stop and smell tiny crab legs. She was a good pet, and I believe our pets will be waiting for us, too.
The only thing I'd change in your poem would be to omit "your". It makes it sound like Jesus is only her Savior, and not your own. But I don't think that's the case.
Hugs,
Kimbob

Thank you dear friend. Yes I know it is true. It seems when the anniversary looms each year, as it is this month it all replays in the raw more. I suppose that is normal. Blessings. Barbara

Simple, short and sweet. What a gift to have been able to hold her and see her off to the next stage of existence. I enjoy your voice!

A beautiful poem for a beautiful daughter and wonderful mother. I couldn't begin to imagine how hard you must have prayed for the courage to tell her to let go! My eyes are tearing now writing this to you. Jesus has her now in his arms to watch over her family.

This is truly a really sad story, and I think your poem is a great tribute. It's a short piece, but neat, and you have chosen a beautiful artwork to accompany it :)
Best regards,
Jim

Oh, honey. I can't begin to imagine what your own journey has been like. I wish you peace and good memories. And I am so glad that you got to be there. There at the first breath and the last. What a blessing.
The only thing I would do to improve is take away the capitalization. I would put everything in little letters. Except the words, "alone" and "Jesus." You might try it and see how it looks? Maybe not even 'alone'. No distractions at all, you know? Good luck!

Thank you robyn. I changed the caps. I really didn't have them caped spell check advised and I followed. My writing is usually much more casual. I appreciate your kind words and advice. Blessings. Barbara
