Beautiful story, @blueeyes8960. It's a wonderful tale of a person who has been through a lot, and has made mistakes, nevertheless forging the way forward — supported faithfully by a mother who loves him. This seems very real to me. And it made me wonder how people who have had major life challenges can make it when they don't have the love and support that he does. Thanks for sharing your work in The Ink Well!
@jayna, it is a very real situation. In about 4 months, that WILL be me, waiting at the gate, for my son. It's heartbreaking and scary. And it's fiction because, at this point, I can only imagine what will transpire. Thanks for reading and supporting, and sympathizing!
Wow, @blueeyes8960. Just WOW! I will be sending positive vibes, hope and faith and crossed fingers your way. Writing fiction is such a great way to deal with the things life throws at us.
