How sweet of you! I'm not "back" but my membership is active to I can parachute in unannounced and say thank you, offer hugs, and leave six stars for such kindness!

Love,

Karenina

Well written. Sadly the older we get the more close to us take the next step in our journey. Last month I lost two good friends. I still hold tightly to the memories of the joy we had as friends.

Cherish your memories of them. For they live on in those memories.

Karen, I feel your pain. It's so sad to see these wonderful people leaving. I hope it's not for good. How are you? I heard your sister is not well (I read it in another post - forgive me if I've misread it). She will be in my thoughts for a quick recovery. I hope your days are bright. Thanks for sharing this. Be well, Frank.

    Thank you. My sister Tammy is getting better. She is a control freak and no doubt bullied her eye doctor into doing her eyes so close together. Less than two weeks apart. Her body was not recovered from the stress. So, when she got the second eye done, she didn't snap right back. She had much more swelling, and irritation. She is taking more medicine , and some of it helps her sleep. Which we all appreciate. She is on course, and will be fine. Thanks for the prayers and good wishes. We will all miss these wonderful people.

    It turned cold here. Typical spring: snow on Monday; breezy and brisk today - but I had the snow tires removed. It's supposed to warm up next week. Be well. Frank

    It was supposed to be heavy thunderstorms, so far only dark clouds letting tiny bits of sun in. Karen

Such a great poem on friends who are leaving us behind, and I enjoyed it, but it is such a sad note too. The photo is awesome as well, and I have never heard of this format, but I enjoyed it. Keep up the great work!

Hopefully they will be back Sandra has her latest novel to finish . The aging process is not exactly comfortable.. Some of them works very hard reviewing and writing
this was a touching poem with an emphasis to your feeling of loss..

This tanka, Karen, Sandra, and Deborah, makes a sad announcement I guess. Is this true? Is the Karen here you? I didn't know Deborah was checking out.

Thank you Karen for posting your poem for these three fantastic writers.

They will be missed for sure as time goes on. They are not only great writers, but their reviews were always so helpful.

    Yes they always perked me up. And when they suggested edits they always explained why in a nice way. Thanks for the read. And Tom Botts is also leaving for a while. He is the best non-fiction writer on here. The way he tells a story cracks me up. Karen
