Oh my the drugs that was given to her at the party must have been some wicked things. I just wonder what the dream meant that she had about the woman dressed in all black. I wonder if the dream was warning meg that John could be even more dangereous than he appeared already. It makes me wonder if maybe someone hadn't been in Meg's apartment when she had slept for three days straight. I am on the look for the next chapter. You have caught my attention with the thrilling chapters. I hope Meg makes John's life miserable.
Poor Meg she just keeps meeting jerks. All of them think her cousin is so kind, and they think that John is a wonderful man it is just making her sick. I like how at first that she opened up to mike and then said to be home sick you had to want to go home. That she just missed how simple life was back in Iowa. I also like how when he asked if she was single that she said she was dating his grandson, that was a good shot.
It is still looking like Steve had something to do with John getting to meg. The way that he said that he was sorry before he closed the taxi door. The way that he said that he would call and check on meg in a few days. he knew that something was wrong with her. I am almost sure that he knew the whole story. I just wonder why she said she would have stared longer if she knew it would be the last time she would see him.
I still believe that steve her cousin knew all about the attack and that somehow that he helped arrange for John to meet up with Meg. Because of the lion 's pen cufflink. I think that he was a part of the guys club that abuse young girls. That they get friendly with them and deliver them to their prey. it is all that comes to my mind. I love how meg said that John doesn't know that he had created a monster. That she would soon be his worst nightmare. Can't wait to read the next chapter. Good job.
SaintLee, I would have to say from my point of view, that it needs to be said, you have kicked yourself long enough. i would have to say that I would truly think that your mom would not want you to be so hard on yourself. That she would want you to be happy and move on in life. To remember the love that she showed you, to bestow it to others and that her only wish would be for you to be happy. Sometimes it is easier for us to forgive others than it is for us to forgive ourselves. I know your heart is truly broken, but to let the healing truly begin you are going to have to forgive yourself and reflect on the love that your mom so free gave you. Apply that love inside your heart and let go of the bad memories and remember the good times that she gave you. Don't live with regret, some things you could do nothing about. There are so many involved in the decision making so it was a difficult task. May God bless you and help you put your guilt to rest, because your mom loved you and wouldn't want you living with this kind of feelings. She would want you to be as happy and free as she is at this time with Jesus.
This is very beautiful. I know your mom knew that you done the best for her that could truly be done.That you always had her best interest at heart regardless. It is hard to make some of those decisions and no one can know what they would do until they are in your shoes. Many times we have to make decisions that we don't want to. I am sure that having to put her in a nursing home was a last altnerative. Sometimes things go in a way in which we have no control in what happens. That it is what is best for the patient, and their best well being.Your mom was courageous woman she raised a child all by herself and chose not to bring anyone else in that may cause harm to you, I am sure that is what she thought. I know my mom done the same I liked 3 months being 18 before she remarried. She sacrifice those years to raise her girls, I don't think she ever regretted it. I know many times she felt alone. Cried herself to sleep many nights. I know that your mom would say that she is very proud of you and knows you did what was best for her regardless.
I like the message that the story contains. That sometimes we feel we have to be different to stand out. That to get others attention we have to really have a hole in our head. Kathy was going out every night and having fun doing the talk shows but the people were more interested in the hole in her head, not what kind of person she was. She enjoyed the fame and attention but when the whole begin to heal there was no one that was interested any more except Tom. It goes to show that a true friend is there no matter what. No matter how dumb or stupid we may act they love us for who we are. Kathy finally realized that it was not the end of the world if the hole did heal up. She finally realized she liked the feeling of it healing and hair coming back in. That a healthy scalp was a good thing. I find it ironic that a person would be depressed because it was healing up and the brain was no longer showing. When most people would be jumping for joy, because the healing had began.
This is totally awesome. I love the story and how you present it to the reader. In simple terms and so easy to understand. That no matter where they have tread, no matter if they have turned their back on Jesus, no matter what thoughts have went through our minds it doesn't matter, the blood of Jesus covers ever sin. All we have to do is accept Him and our sins are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. It is truly that simple and easy to have your soul covered by the blood of Jesus. I love the reference to the blood on His face, that He faced things for us that we may not want to face up to because of what we have heard or seen. Great job on this item. Keep using your talents to glorify His holy name.
I was thinking that the couple was going to some type of costume party like for a grand child or something boy was I wrong. I guess they don't get enough Social Security so they have to find a way to suppliment their income. Who would think an older couple married 50 years robbing a store. Now that is a hoot. Good job on this one.
Very heartfelt. Many times in our lives we just have to stop, and confess everything to our Father in heaven. To just to sit and have a serious talk with Him about all the things that are bothering us. To apologize for pushing Him away and trying to handle things on our own. To let Him know that things have gotten out of control and we can no longer handle our current problems. That is when we draw closer to Him and He takes us in His arms and wipes away the tears. He will calm our fears and protect us in ways that we never knew. That is what our Father in Heaven wants us to do, Run To His Arms For Protection. He will never fail to do so.
Very sad. But this is how some people truly feel. Their life is so in desperation that they feel they have no where to turn. They feel like everything is completely hopeless. The pain and suffering from being lonely and dealing wiht heart break, they feel like nothing matters anymore. It is so sad where it says that others know but don't care that just rips at the heart. I would pray that if I knew someone who was suffering from major problems in their life that I would be there for them regardless. Friends are to be there in good times and bad no matter what. God can give a person the strength to go on, if you feel that you can't reach Him, be persitant keep going ot Him in prayer, God will answer. He will carry a person when they can no longer stand.
Oh this would be so hard to deal with. It would be so hard on the family especially for a child. Knowing that an act of a parent is about to rip their family apart. It would be hard to put it aside and try to find the forgiveness in your heart to extend to one that has done the family wrong. You would be full of anger and battle with how to forgive when bitterness is in your heart. Over time forgiveness finally could give way, but like stated it is harder to forget the acts that just about wrecked the whole families life. But one good thing is that forgiveness brings healing to all.
I love it. Respect is a big thing. I think we should respect everyone and everything. To treat others the way that we would want to be treated. Not to judge them on how they act, or by what they do. To just respect a person for their kindness and the love that they give. If we respect others we will be given respect in return. If we are critical of others I feel we are being mean to them. If we read others work and don't agree with something we need to be kind in the way that we explain that we didn't agree with something. Because we are all different and have different ways of saying things. Just because one says it different doesn't mean it is wrong. We are all individuals and see things in our own way, so we have respect one anothers view on different levels.
You have put this together very well. It is different but the message comes across loud and clear. Many times we hold our selves back because we are afraid that our pride will be bruised. arrogance becomes our weapon of choice. We put others down to make ourselves look and feel good. loneliness. then peeks it ugly head in and we realize that we have become a person that no one truly wants to be around. That we have created a typical prison for ourselves that our pride has gotten in the way and we have become a lonely bitter person. We can change all that by treating others with love and by being kind and compassionate to others. My favorite lines because it takes being alone, to find out the truth about ourselves.
sit alone at the table of truth
There’s no food and no words in this fable
Oh it must have been so hard to have her pass on. It is so hard when we don't get to tell them goodbye. We always carry that void spot regardless of what we got to say or didn't get to say. I know when my mom passed away for a long time the emptiness was almost unbearable. My favorite lines because this is how our family has truly felt the last two months. We lost two family members with one month and one day of one another.
This is so sad shows the of someone who doesn't truly know their self worth. They have been beated down by words that cut to the heart, made to feel that they are not worthy of anything. They truly just want to be loved and want to love in return. It is amazing what abuse can do to a person , make them have such low self esteem. They are robbed of all the good feelings about themselves, made to feel like they are of no use to no one. My favorite lines because I feel that no one should be made to feel insecure. To love someone is to build them up, make them happy like they are floating on air
Silently begging for attention, the attention that gives you the feeling of love and security
Powerful words, shows one has suffered some tough times at heartbreak. That their heart has truly been broken and they are not willing to let no one else in right now. That the heart tries to convince them that love still exists but the person is not willing to try at love again. My favorite lines
And heart now made of steel
great story. It sure would make people who bully others and torment them think twice. I know some take it in stride when they are the center of ridicule and jokes. But some take it to heart, it eats away at them and they seek revenage even if others are just joking and truly mean no harm. That is why we have to watch what we say to others, joking can be taken to far. It can truly cut others to the core. You end up with a tragedy like in this story.
Oh I love this one. Showing how one can truly be a prisoner to time. Always worrying about being on time. Life is too short to worry about being late. Every now and then it can not be helped. Part of living is being flexible at times. It is hard to be on time every where you go. To feel free and in control at times we need to just forget the clock and take a day where time is not important to spend the day with our family, and friends. I khow one year when we went on vacation we didn't have a clock with us, it was great. We were just so relaxed went to sleep when we got tired, got up when we got our nap out. It was the greatest week I can ever remember.
The story gets more thrilling as you go along. It seems that James is just a plain physco. Is he going to kill everyone that is close to Shannon. The way it said two down and I guess his plan is suppose to fall into place. You have managed to also put the ounce of doubt in my mind that Shannon may know something. Because where James went into the house and saw that he had been cut out of the pictures, makes you wonder if maybe in his warped mind he has dreamed that Shannon is part of the plan. Now is he setting up Shannon for the murders? makes the reader truly wonder.
I love the supspense trying to figure out what is going on really. Did Shannon and James plan the whole thing that is happening to Billy? I have to ponder that idea, but then it appears that she really loves Billy and wouldn't want no harm to come to him. And the dream that she had was really eerie so I truly would have to say that wouldn't be the case. It still makes me wonder why after 24 hours that she just wouldn't call the police and report him missing. I know that her and James had a bad relatioinship so I really don't think that she would be working with him to do away with Billy. Good way of keeping the reader on the end of their seat.
Sounds like the making of a good story just kindly confusing at the beginning.Going from the guy being beat up and then to all the others that are brought into the story. I am sure that the next chapter will clarify some of my confusion though. I like the adventure though, keeps the reader trying to keep up with what is going on. I take it that Billy may have flipped someone off and they took it personally. Good story I am on my way to read the second chapter now.
One going through their past and memories of it torment them. They fear the reminders of the things that they have done. They are no longer that person but can't seem to shake the monsters of the past.. Their shadows cast blackness in the persons life and remind them constantly of things and events in their life that they are not proud of. Sounds like the person has not truly forgiven themselves completely, that would be the main key to get the monsters out of their closet.
This is just lovely. Telling of someone falling in love, that they are truly afraid that they will hurt the person that they have such strong feelings for. I like how they told her that the words come from the heart and that she was flattered by the beauty of their words. I like the expression hands of an oaf, that the guy is afraid that he will break her somehow. I love how you referred to cotton candy making in this poem, that the more it goes around that it becomes more and more. The feelings that they have for her are very apparent in this poem. I love how they finally kiss at the end of the evening, not rushing into anything. My favorite lines
Exquisitely delicate from my view
I with the hands of an oaf at times
Afraid to touch her lest she break
Like sugar spun candy, lovely
That would be an awesome gift, I had all boys around our neighborhood to play with and a toy like that would have been a big hit. I guess in a ten year old boys mind it was not given a thought that they rocket could only be used once. It would be dishearting to lose your Christmas present after just one trial run. I love the part of your story about you working to buy your mom the scarf that she so admired. You worked hard to make the money, and I know that she cherished it for many years to come. Even though times were hard, a way was given to show your mom how much she was loved and appreciated.
