Maybe slightly too long, but very vivid in detail and general plot. Your Special thanks at the end was enlightening, I lost my first wife at her age 45.

Hello Doc,

this is once again your very touching story of the Golden Years and the less Golden. I thank you straight off for sharing it with us.

This is the engaging story about how you met your dear wife, Carolyn. You are showing us how you spent your various many years of your life with her. Some of these years were painful and horribly parental abusive years by her own mother.

Then you along to save her and offer her love and care in which years both of you enjoyed and you had your wonderful three children.

Next came your loss and grief. But as a man of God and leader of your church you will manage to conquer the pain, and writing it down is a great way to help too with your own healing.

I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas,
Akinyi Prinzessin von K'Orinda-Yimbo

How come the good ones are always married it's not Christmas yet yet APK why even though we've had two snowfalls here in December which is highly highly unusual South Jersey when I lived in which is more Central that would be normal we always had snow for Christmas we haven't had snow for Christmas down this way for it's it's been going on two decades now it's been so bad that Corinne Jewelers in Toms River takes out a million-dollar policy and Garrett and if it snows if it snows between 6 + midnight Christmas Eve 6 in or more all the jewelry that you have previously purchased starting in November's free they never once had to pay out on that policy dr. Ricky 1024 and thanks for your wonderful review

Good morning again, Ricky: This is another very interesting story about how you met your dear wife, Carolyn. You took us through many years of her life, including those horribly abusive years by her own mother. You saved her by taking her away from that life. You gave her a good life and you were both happy. You both had children together and everything was wonderful. Your loss will stay in your heart and mind. The grief will stay but the writing and god will numb the pain as I could see it has and is doing this. Keep writing Ricky and I will keep reading your work. I will keep offering you some encouragement the way you have for me. Thank you for sharing this very touching story. Agape love...

It would seem that you've had a particularly raw deal in life Ricky. Losing a wife and a son would be emotionally pretty debilitating my friend, so I sympathise with you, I know what it's like to lose someone close to oneself. Well written, biography of a much loved wife, lover and friend, good job, blessings, Roy

Reviewing your stuff is tough. Spelling, grammar, all those quotes, your style is a bear to grade. But no more so than some poets who use perfect grammar and great flowery words but don't tell me a thing. At least I see a poignant story in your post, the real tragedy of a tough and troubled life. And to me, the story is almost everything. Fivers.

Carolyn was a good mother never thought she could have children but when it came to the love Department she lacked that I wound up having to do all the back to school things concerts and then she got in her mind it as I was busting my butt every night going to work running a night crew that she go to Atlantic City leave the kids sleep and come back by Daybreak and gamble all my money away I didn't put that in there or how she died from her suicide attempt but it was a lack of her meds she stopped her meds for personal reasons besides what I just told you thanks for your read on this you want or her and she always be my wife and mother of my children even though there was very little love shared it's on its way to all time best doctor Ricky 1024

You posted this as poetry but it should have been posted under the category prose, non-fiction. I don't understand the reason for all of the quotation marks. There is no need for them.

I wouldn't call this a poem, Ricky, perhaps simply an account, or better named; prose.

I found instances of strong emotion that touched me deeply. My brother committed suicide at age 30 so I feel for you concerning the way and the reason, for it is tragic when it comes to that point.

There are some pieces of writing in certain areas that would sit well in a poem.
I think I have asked you before of the quotation marks and the layout, yet, each author will find a way that defines them, so I simply accept and try to follow your vision. That much the right of any author. Whether a good idea, not for me to judge.

My condolences.
Best wishes.
RGstar

Good

Your wife would have loved the poem you wrote in to honor her. Yes, you are quite right, seems as though she had a tough life. I could tell she was beautiful as well. I thought it interesting that you chose to tell the story in the form of a poem. I am totally confused as to why you used quotation marks throughout the piece.
