Please visit JC's blog, StoryRhyme, where she posted my latest story, "Grandpa's Chess Set." It's too painful for me to post it here.

A beautiful, touching story - how children cope with love & loss.
And it's always nice to have something tangible to hold in addition to all the memories.

That was a story to warm the heart. My fondest memory is fishing with my grandpa. It's the memories that we hold dearest to our hearts that keep them alive.

So beautiful, Laura. I'm crying but a liberating cry. Wish you all the best. Hugs. A.

JC, thanks for being my trusted online publisher and cheerleader.
Beth, it's hard to know how someone else creates the tapestry of their memory, but the more threads that can be woven, the richer it will be.
Deni, I'm glad that eventhough we lived at a distance we didn't let "life" impede on what really creates a life.
Kashif, thanks, I will definitely check out your post.
Bill, thank you. At times the sadness can speak, at others it renders one mute.
Antonella, I appreciate knowing that my story moved you.
