People who welcome you into a family like that are amazing. My mother in law has started wanting to do things with me, it's been 10 years since she's known me...five since we've been married. It worried me so I inquired about it from someone who has daughter in laws and she told me that my mother in law probably just wants to hang out with me. Still weird to me, but I'll take it. It's good when people want to hang out with you.

What a lovely person your grandmother in-law was! Isn't that a great example to us all to love and celebrate each other with the joy that the Lord gave us. Best wishes in the contest!

She looks like a lovely lady. You can always tell when a smile is genuine, and hers is. I think she's someone I would have liked to have known. Good luck in the contest.

Beautiful . That is so sweet. Your husbands grandmother overcame personal tragedy. And continued to be a nurturing human being . That says a lot about the kind person she was ð???. Well done.

Beautiful words and a fine presentation, Sal. That photo is super lovable. I'm sure that somewhere in the ether your mother-in-love is grinning from ear to ear. Maybe her spirit will flicker a light bulb to show her delight. (That's how my own late mother checks in with me from time to time)

It's not a traditional haiku, that's for sure. Maybe a senryu. But it's a wonderful write. So good luck in the contest.

Stay safe dear soul

Blessings Julia

This is a sweet contest entry about a special lady, Sally. I enjoyed reading it (and the notes). What an awesome bond you had with her. (I believe she is in Heaven by your use of past tense in the notes). The image is perfect.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Oh, how wonderful Sally! You made me laugh with the photo and the endearing haiku. It is a wonderful verse and I am sure she will love reading it too. Well done and good luck.

This is just so adorable, Sally. I was raised by my grandmother and she never allowed personal tragedy to interfere with her getting on with the work at hand either.

Wishing you much luck with the voters with this little gem. :))

Always a pleasure to read and review your work.

Gloria

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I live with my grandparents many years but they were more European and children or more to be seen and not heard. Jackson?s grandmother was just the opposite. She has a series of personal tragedies and you would never have known it. I hope to be like her in every way.
    Sending my best today as always and many thanks for this wonderful review.
