I think this is written well, and it's really nice of her to write birthday poems for a lot of people. I imagine she can probably only do them for the people who she's friends with though, otherwise she wouldn't really know things about each person to put into the poems. It would ruin the surprise if she had to ask them questions about themselves ahead of time so that she can out it in the poem.

    Thank you for reading. You are right some the folks are her good friends, but others she barely knows. She does research from their writing and profile, and maybe asks a friend of the person she is writing about. In short, no easy task. Terry.

As a secret admirer your love for Debi shines through well. I am certain she very much enjoys your admiration because writing birthday cards for members is important.

Let's just wait and see which member, and there are many to choose from, the committee deems deserves this award as it is not our choice to make.

Always a pleasure to read and review your work, Terry.

    Gloria, thank you for reading and reviewing. Maybe not too secret...LOL. I don't know who or how the committee makes its choice, but I figure it's no harm in giving them a suggestion. Thank you very much. Terry.

I would vote for her. I've only been back briefly and have read and reviewed several of her Birthday wishes. I don't know much about her yet, but I do know that she is a special lady with a special gift. Debi, I hope it reaches all your fans and then some.
God bless,
Steve

This is a great idea that Debi should be the Writer of the Year. She has struggled with illness and yet made sure everyone she heard from is wished a happy birthday with a perfect poem. I don't know how the writer of the year is chosen, but I'll back your campaign if you mount one.

I've also really enjoyed Debbie's birthday poems recently and I've marvelled at how much she manages to write about a person, making us feel as though we really know them. This is an excellent piece complementing Debbie's hard work.

This is a most thoughtful tribute to Debi--a very talented and valuable Fanstorian. Her words affect so many and spread love and camaraderie.
I pray for her comfort and recovery.
Thank you, Terry, for shining a light on her.
I am out of six-star awards. Sorry.

Terry, This is a very precious, sweet and true story about our dear friend, Debi. She is an amazing lady that goes out of her way to make us feel special. It makes me think of Helen who is that way also. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Teri

I think this is a wonderful posting about fellow FS members. I am thrilled I have a six left to underscore the message. I loved learning how Debi's birthday poem was received by Annmuma.

I especially like this paragraph you wrote:

Debi wants to post the poems as the clock strikes midnight on the person's birthday. I'm thinking that's her way of wanting to be first to wish someone a happy birthday.

    Thanks for the six stars. I am delighted you picked up on that sentence. It sort of struck me when I found out she did that...what a good person. Terry.
