Hi Jesse, it's so good to see you back home. You must be absolutely over the moon. And you a look so think it's on the cards that you will soon be walking without aid. That is so great. Thanks for this uplifting update. Ulla:)))

So happy to hear that you are home from, what sounds to be, a successful surgery. Best of luck as you recover and get back into the groove. I can only imagine how happy you are to be in familiar surroundings with those you love - including your kitty.

    Thanks, Pam for this insightful review. I definitely need to get back in the groove.
    Sunny my kitty missed me as much as I missed her. She was all night long the first night.
    Have a wonderful day!

Congratulations on your rehab and recovery, Jesse. I'm sure it has been, and continues to be, a difficult process. I thought the comparison of your tribulations and current state of mind with that of a leaf was clever. Well done.

Thank you very much for sharing your story. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. We're in the middle of autumn now, but the spring is about to come only in a few months :)

Hi Jesse,
I am glad to here you are healing so well. Can't wait to see a picture of you standing or walking.
This is a good haibun. I assume those three lines are a haiku. The sentiment in them is very true.
Happy you are back.
Joan

So happy to hear you are back home and are certain you will be walking soon. Physical therapy is a tough thing to go through, but the rewards are worth it. I'm sure your kitty missed you, although cats have a remarkable ability to not let us know what they are thinking.

Hello, Jesse,

I was wondering what happened to you. I guess I didn't make that fanstory friends list. Regardless, I'm glad you are back and in good spirits. I agree with your friend Bobbi, letting go what we can't control is Paramount for a happy life.

TKe care, Jesse.

    Good morning, Gyspy.
    Sorry I didn't give you notice of my whereabouts when I was gone.
    Letting the past go lets me move on to my future and beyond.
    Take care of yourself.

    No worries, Jesse. I'm a very sensitive person but all is good between us.

Yay!
Mostly though, for your up-beat outlook.
Nicely written.
Though the leaf is already dead, the tree that bore it is healthy and strong.
Good work. Glad things are on the mend.
Best wishes.

Your peace of mind and strong hopes for mobility in the future shine throughout this lovely, descriptive piece. The paragraph about the purple leaf is especially expressive.
