Comment from Sally Law

Excellent

A wonderfully written poem and beautifully illustrated for our talented friend, Paul Manton. I'm sure he's blessed beyond measure and this will add to his recovery. How could it not? Debi dear, you're so good to go the extra mile on Christmas Eve for him and I'm sure he knows it.

Paul, thinking about you and praying for a speedy recovery, and for you to return soon to the comforts of home and to Charlie.

Love and blessings to you both across the world on Christmas and always.
Sal XOs!

Oh my. I did not know he had returned to the hospital! Of course, along with birthday wishes, there will be prayers for his healing. Again, not sure how you or Helen managed your "Paul" posts what with his hospitalization and all... I congratulate each of you for keeping your promise to this man who has made his mark here on FS in seven short months!

A very nice poem, Debi. Your AABB rhyme scheme works flawlessly --
Blessings to you and Paul as well!

Merry Christmas!

Karenina

I hope he's finally recuperating after that setback! Your poem alone should be just the medicine he needs!

Read it and answered it. Sorry it took so long to see it! I was writing something for Bill and Kathy and then realized I only had $2.40--I had to review to get it promoted!

Debi, Thank you for the excellent poem about Paul. I, too, have enjoyed his work. He has become a prolific writer on FanStory, as well as an insightful reviewer. I hope he recovers quickly from his illness. Well done! Terry.

Debi. You gave us a wonderful birthday poem for our friend, Paul. I'm in awe of what he has accomplished. Fantastic life he's lived.
I pray now for his recovery and quick release from the hospital. I feel being born on Christmas Day will help along the way to recovery.

Debi, enjoy this wonderful day with your family!
Luv ya!
John

Hi Debi,
This shows Paul as a very talented and well rounded person. He has so many different careers that all seem connected.
I am sorry to hear he is back in the hospital. It is sad that he has to be there on Christmas and his birthday. Hopefully this will be resolved quickly. He will be in my prayers.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Merry Christmas.
Joan

I know a few people born on Christmas Day, but I much prefer having my birthday in the summer. I hope Paul recovers soon and is on the mend. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Debi.
