This is a beautifully written story that you have presented to us for Carol on her birthday and I appreciate it this thing to it. It moves very well and is loud and I wish Carol a very happy birthday. Patricia.

Hi Patricia, I thank you so much. Carol has had a very interesting life and I wish there had been room to share more, but I am sure she does in her stories.

Hi Debi,
Carol has full life with a large family. I commend her for redecorating her house herself. I am sorry for all her losses. I wish her a great birthday.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great rest of the day and week.

Awww, this is amazing! The way you captured her life's journey... from her beloved family to her impressive career and of course the deep losses she's endured, all while highlighting her love for writing and the joy she finds in the FanStory community, truly sweet! The ending with the birthday wish and the nod to her return to writing is such a perfect, uplifting touch.So nice!

Happy Birthday, Carol! I wrote a birthday wish for you when I went to bed and now I'm writing you when when I get up! I am having some sugarfree whipped cream in my iced coffee to celebrate your big day! Thanks to Debi for writing such a lovely poem in your honor. Have a very special day! You deserve it!

Debi dear, how sweet of you to pen a tribute/birthday poem for Carol. (When I mention Carol to Jack, I must specify because we are blessed with three.) This Carol is amazingly resilient and has such a big heart. I don't know how she does what she does because I never could even if I were locked in a cabin without disturbance. A book chapter or two a day. Mind Blown!

Carol dear, I hope you know how loved you are and how blessed WE are to have you. God's riches blessings on you today and always. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Love & Blessings to you both across the miles.
Sal XOs!

Of course! I wouldn't miss a DPM birthday tribute for anything. I love all of mine and cherish them.

Hi Debi,
Thank you so much for sharing one of my dear friend's birthdays. Happy Birthday, Carol. I know you think I've forgotten you as I've fallen behind on your rather prolific writing, but I've fallen behind with everyone, just ask them.
Debi, thank you for you service and for helping to spread community on this site.
Love you both,
Rhonda

And, I loved your poem. It was well written and fun. You did a great job for her!!!

reply by the author on 04-Sep-2024

Thank you, Sweetie. That means a lot to me. I appreciate it so much.
I was a little scared if something was wrong with my poem because three of my best friends didn't say anything about it. So thank you so much.

reply by the author on 04-Sep-2024

I didn't mean anything bad about it but I have to quit being so easily made to believe that if someone doesn't say something, I must have done an awful job. It still goes back from the days of the molestation. A horrible inferior feeling. So it isn't you. It is me. And I just have to remember what I learned in therapy. UGH!

reply by davisr (Rhonda) on 04-Sep-2024

Awwww, I didn't want to make you feel that way. I'm not able to be on much during the day and wanted to respond to the poem. I actually really did like it. It was so soft and delightful. Love you!!

reply by davisr (Rhonda) on 04-Sep-2024

It was not intentional, I assure you. I just don't have much time at school to respond on here. Love you bunches!!

reply by the author on 04-Sep-2024

I feel like the worst friend in the world. I wish I didn't say anything. It was no big deal,
Pleas forgive me. But on the bright side it does show how much I think of you girls for that little bit of approval.
Love hou

Always assume we overlook your flaws. We are flawed, believe it or not, ourselves!!

reply by the author on 05-Sep-2024

Well I had no right to question why some didn't say anything about my poem. I guess I am too sensitive. That is why no matter what I say in a review, I try to never forget that I am there to comment on the Person's work.

reply by the author on 05-Sep-2024

And sometimes it is so easy to overlook that when you are talking about something else. I have one guy that I just love but he gets carried away and on my reviews he will talk about everything but my post. LOL.. but I still love him.

I've recently come across Carol's work, which I really enjoy and she is always generous as well with her reviews. I had no idea about the personal tragedies she's suffered though. Another excellent piece, Debi, I hope Carol has an excellent birthday.
