She really is a lovely woman who has had quite a life. <br />For those of you who linked up with your own stories, thank you. I loved what you shared and notice that nothing was wildly extravagant but it is the little thoughtful things that have made a difference in our lives. <br />Remember we are going to keep this open for a couple more days to give you time to write your story. <br />I will certainly run another one and remember you don't have to be a writer extraordinaire to join in. Heck I didn't even graduate high school. Just join in, you will be glad you did.Lori Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775116608698555225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-67281573319314234182009-10-12T12:16:13.957-07:002009-10-12T12:16:13.957-07:00Oh Lori, what a wonderfully written story.

What a beautiful story. I have a wonderful story of the kindness of friends and strangers, but ... I am zooming out of the door now to take my daughter Anne to lunch and then to see the first play she costumed in school -- ack! won't be back till probably dinner time or a little later, but I will write then. Sorry it will be so late. Yesterday was entirely taken up with bringing my Dad to see the beach house -- got home almost midnight! <br />This story was wonderful, and beautifully written, too, Lori.

This is so special. I too lost my mother as a very young adult. My mother in law (whom I known since I was 13)treated me like a daughter and I loved her very much. I can think of no higher compliment to you. Your MIL is a very wise and caring woman!

All I had to make was fresh cranberry sauce and sweet potato smash casserole. Easy peasy.<br />You are not a "challenged writer" in the least. You are a GREAT writer. your story is heat warming. I also had a great MIL... she's gone now, and I miss her very very much.<br />I on the other hand would be challenged, that's what it's all about isn't it?<br />I have a post going up for our Thanksgiving, and I should have thought of a better meaning around it, with your challenge in mind.... not sure if I will have time. <br />Keep it going OK? I promise to accept the challenge very soon.<br />I have lot's to say lol<br />Love Claudie<br />xoxoC'est moi Claudettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705579364981296041noreply@blogger.com
