I'm with Eli. I don't want to say anything to smudge this fine, sad poem.

children are at times un forgiving until they have a sense of their frailty, that parents are not perfect, and understand we are trying to adapt to a child where there is no operating manual, until we write it ourselves based on experiences. We are all flawed. Great write.

Like Eli, I found this incredibly touching. I do not know how true it is or is not but your words gave a profound sense of loss, regret and sadness. A truly wonderful write, that touches

It's difficult sometimes to comment on heartfelt pieces like this, for a fear exists in me that to offer anything would never do any justice nor provide any consolation for the feelings being expressed.

So I'll just say thank you and beautifully written, and leave it at that.

A very poignant piece, my friend, applauded gently.
The mood sustains throughout, yet it is enhanced especially by the irises as inspiring such beautiful tenderness. As always, I admire your delicacy.
