Glitter Dreams: When I Speak
“This is beautiful. Almost brought me to tears. Of course, today is my mother's fifth birthday without her and it is gloomy and pouring rain. I did just get home from going out to lunch with a friend so I wouldn't cry all day. I was going to attempt this prompt as well. I have more health problems than I can count, and writing again has just brought so much joy back into my life. Stay strong. I admire. your perseverance and disposition. That is sometimes hard to maintain.”
— Lynn A.
