I love the use of dialogue. Feels very natural. Having it be an older lady does make it less relatable, but forces the reader to sympathize with her plight and in the end makes us think about our own future

Thank you. I really appreciate this kind review. Gretchen
Comment from Ric Myworld
We all hope we'll have someone when the time comes we need them, but sadly, many of us will be left to fend for ourselves. I know that many times I don't appear to understand all that I'm reading, but I do. I just add different points it brings to mind. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
WAHHH. That's all I'm doing because I've, after all, been told to "Suck it up, Allen." But, when I'm done writing this review, I'm going to cry and cry and cry. (especially because I just returned home from visiting my mentor and, as I see her, "True Mom," Ann, who just turned 89 last week and is not faring well mentally or even physically. She seems to be losing ground faster between visits, and it just breaks me down so much.)
Anyway, of course Jameson would step up to this plate. Iris is wise and saw him accurately. Beautifully written chapter, Gretchen.

I don't particularly do well with grief. I tend to batten down the hatches and fight it. I never really dealt with my mother's death in 2004. I'm dealing with it through Iris. I'm sorry you are seeing the decline of your friend and mentor, Ann.

Wow, Gretchen. That's a very long time to be tough. It's like a shard of glass in your foot, though; you know it's always in there, even if you change how you step down. I hope this is helping you heal. xo
