I like this story. No one appreciates what they have really. The playfulness at the end was sweet. Well thought out story

Fantastic! Sam.

Your stories never disappoint, Sam. There’s always an ending to ponder and smile over. I thought of Scotty as a spirit who still watches over his mother. Great storytelling as usual. :))))

Thanks, Tim. I appreciate it.

Powerfully penned, Thomas. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

A trip into your mind, reveals how damaged we are as no one is set free. Unfiltered brilliance in your poetry & how you cut through the grit with your ideas. Great!

What I love about this is the double reflection. The reflection of the writer and the reflection of lights on the freeway. They blend beautifully into something very deep and human

I think this is probably my most favouwritest of your little masterpieces to date Thomas .. actually, I’m pretty sure its write up there near the summit .. Neville

Thank you, my friend.

This is a hard hitting one because I do relate to this piece.i enjoy your work

Oh! it makes me think back to simpler times when things weren’t all amuck.

Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent lyrics my friend. Really dig the musical accompaniment. I heard gospel and r&b elements maybe a touch of Motown. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Not everything comes shiny and new for Christmas but its the effort that counts
Unfortunately, when tragedy happens it doesn’t care what day it is.
I hope you and your family had a great Christmas Day:). Always focus on the positive here and now chica:)
They carry us through the hard times.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Dear W,

Beautiful, heart felt, heartache, touchingly gorgeous I could go on. Every word so poignant and meaningful you’ve painted a word picture that has touched me beyond measure. Beautiful write. H🌷

This poem honors the truth many people carry through the holidays—the quiet grief, the missing chairs, the love that survives scarcity. It’s honest without bitterness, and that makes it powerful.
