You have such a way of bringing out the emotions in your stories and this story is "about" emotions so it's a double whammy. A perfect description of coming to terms after a loss or a bad decision. Beautiful writing.

This work has reached the exceptional level

The consummate writer who shares all the senses, leads us by the nose, ears, unshielded flanks, and captures our emotions with a meat hook. It's always a pleasure, my dear. Thanks for sharing.

    It would take more than a pink elephant in the room to hide your awesome personality.

This story, Regret, Remorse, and Acceptance, finds these deep emotions present as the older woman looks back into her past. The reader can sense those emotions at play here and how they are both somewhat painful, but also motivating.

Time is a great healer and we learn to accept the past as we cannot change it Carol. We are human and we make mistakes and the hardest thing to do in life is to forgive ourselves, I enjoyed your magical story, love Dolly x x x

I really love how this chapter takes me on an emotional journey. It feels like a beautiful conversation about healing. When she reads the letter and finally feels relief - that was so powerful. Your story is a reminder that it's okay to take time and that healing is a process. I can't wait to see where this character's journey takes her next! Keep going strong!

Another excellent post, Carol.
You are doing a great job bringing the emotions to life.
I am enjoying the mystery and now, added to it, what has she been forgiven for and who by?
