The love expressed by your family in even thinking of this gift is indeed the true expression of Christmas. I am so happy for you and wish you a wonderful Holiday Season. ann

This is a wonderful early gift! Your children are so thoughtful to go through all of the energy, time, and expense for your son to risk the lockdown rules to rush over to your house cloaked in the darkness just to give you this special gift! This is a beautiful story and the fact that it is true is amazing!
A digital gift keeps on giving for all of 2021 it keeps on ticking!
An Aura is a perfect name for the perfect gift from all of your family! And the idea that you have been able to see your grandchild is the most precious gift that no amount of money could buy!
I am so glad that I searched your portfolio and found this gem of a story!
Thank you, thank you for the best gift for me since I haven't had a chance to get a gift for you this is your gift to me!
I don't have much money or resources to get you the gift that you deserve, so I will try to read all of your posts and review them when I can.
Take good care of yourself and your children as well as your grandbabies!
Jesse

What a lovely and thoughtful gift you received from your family. These young folks are so techy nowadays. I grew up in the fifties when a computer was just science fiction. This should do very well in the contest. Best of luck.

What a charming idea. I don't think I've ever seen an Aura but it sounds great, especially for people with families. You clearly have a wonderful son and a thoughtful one, as well. You'll keep enjoying this gift for some time!

    Thank you very much Mary, for your lovely review. Yes it would be an ideal gift for all grandparents without family close by.

I like how you build the suspense in your story, making the reader--like the narrator--wait to find out WHAT this early Christmas gift is. And I can truly believe why it would be the best ever, Grandma.

What a wonderful story and wonderful gift. This Pandemic has been particularly tough on grandparents. Technology has helped to ease the miles. That's for sure. What has helped is the efforts of our children to keep us updated through use of the technology. The technology is no good if our children don't use it. Your son sounds very kind.
I enjoyed your story.

    Thank you very much Debbie. You are exactly right. And more grandparents need an Aura, especially if their families are far away.
    I am glad you enjoyed my story.

Curse the lockdown and your son took a risk to get this gift to you. I have never heard of it before and I wonder if it was a fantasy gift. Merry Christmas to you and your family, love Dolly x

    Hi Dolly. Thanks so much for a great review! The gift is very real! I hadn't heard of it before either, but then my knowledge of the latest technology offerings is quite limited.

Your excitement and joy at the very special gift exudes from the page as you tell the story. I like that you included lots of dialogue to relate what happened - that always gives a story life.

The complications of getting and delivering the gift gave an extra sense of urgency or mystery to the tale.

Hopefully we will all be out of this darn pandemic soon and there will be many more stories to rell of things that happened in 'Covid days.'
