I love this story. It speaks of the joy that can be found in the midst of sorrow, the joy that memories can bring when someone's gone.

Beautiful 💜

This was just so...warm. We should all be so lucky to have something as special as Blue...and someone even more special who gave it to us. Thanks for this story!

Thanks dear heart. It continues to vary from day to day, but I'm finally tolerating enough medication for reasonable pain control.

I got teary-eyed toward the end of Family Portrait, but smiling also, as I read this wonderful story.

I'm glad you're back to writing, Dascha, and and sure you will continue to mend.

Thanks, Bill. As I'm sure you know, just as writing leads to more writing, not writing leads to not writing.
