Ciao !

I voted for you and I am happy to see you are ahead ..You deserve to win.

Your story was bittersweet..Sally's kiss , your first , brought you some tenderness during that moment of darkness ...and more extraordinary the power of that kiss continued to have a postive affect on you throughout your life ...you passed on through your own actions the same kindness and thoughtfulness to other people.

A lot of children growing up in an abusive family become arid but you remained the sensitve child you were despite the circumstances.
You loved ,cared and protected your mamma.

Sally's kiss wasn't wasted on you ...you made her gift even more previous because the positive effect it had on you as a child continued also in adulthood , greatly influencing you on how you chose to treat others, especially women .

Your story touched me ..all the best .

or your next. - 'you're'

I attempt to defend and comfort anyone who needs (it), when I am able. - no comma needed after 'it'

What an amazingly tender memory you've shared amongst the other not so tender ones, dear writer. This was well polished and consistent in flow and pace. I found only the two tiny, almost unrecognizable spags, and am still giving this a 6 as it is so perfectly driven through memorable, heartfelt words. Sally did change your life. I can tell as I felt your pain, concern, and joy with every stroke of the keyboard as I read this entry. I wish you the best of luck and God bless...one act is all it takes to make or break a person. I'm glad Sally chose to ACT!.

It starts off not so romantic but in the end it does show romance. I love how Sally changed your life, boys love sweet girls and Sally wasn't afraid of things like cooties or wasn't grossed out. Thank you for sharing x - Anntonette
