This work has reached the exceptional level

sis, and as the heavens opened, her beloved son, beamed down with happpy heart , glowing, with true love for his Mum. She needed help and he was listening., As she looked to the skies, energy filled her heart and soul, as never before. Now, side by side, they will travel across the plains to brighter pastures, smiling, touching, as they walk together into renewed happiness.

I luv your story Sis, it is truly beautiful, and Michael is singing, songs of praise.as enlightened souls engage once more, dancing across heaven's floor

Hugs and kisses, lots of luv from Melxxxxxxx

Really nice story. Sometimes when things seem bad, the smallest sliver of hope can make all the difference. Your last line summed this up nicely.

You've done a very nice job telling your story in so few words, and I must admit that it gave me chills to read it. I had a very similar experience when I stood at my little brother's grave many years ago, shortly after his death. The clouds parted, and the sky seemed to be filled with brightness. I do see one error in your story; I think "sister's" might be wrong. If plural, there shouldn't be an apostrophe. Otherwise, very nice work. Connie C

Author,
now this is an excellent entry for this prompt. It had charector, conflict and resolution. Besides, it took an emotional setting, a mother pleading by her son's grave (something that should never happen) with the Lord giving her hope and strength.
Very nicely done... John

Very touching story! I love the hope at the end. I also like the way you used the black & white photo with the gray background. It adds to the starkness of the woman's situation. Thanks for sharing this!

sister's expect ... I assume this is pleural (more than one sister) no apostrophy needed.

A very poignant story. Sometimes it does seem that we messages from beyond.
