A truly heartwarming story. I wish I could have gotten my mother to write with me. Heck I tried to get her to show me how to knit but that didn't work out either. Don

    Sharing time with my son brought more enjoyment than I could have ever asked. Seeing him meet his dreams was the best. Your mom doesn't know what she missed. Thank you for reading and commenting on our story. Smiles to you!

What a pleasure it was to read of your pride and your son's success! Your son was right to encourage your writing - you have a gift and, it appears, he does as well. Congratulations to you both on your successes. Wishing you both continued success.

Congratulations on a job well done. It is wonderful when a son and mother can support each others talents in that way. As a result both mother and son saw a dream come true.

    One of my kids dreamed of going to an Ivy League college from 8th grade and there was no way we could afford it. We are now very proud of him as he won a free ride to Brown and graduated with a Masters Degree. Life is full of wonderful surprises.

What an awesome memory perfectly shared for this contest, Mystery Writer. I enjoyed reading it. Your description of the wedding with all the details included of the decorations, flowers, etc was great. I could see everything. Your notes were informative and poignant, too, about your son's loos of his loved one. What an ending for his movie rights to be purchased.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Beautiful story and indeed a memorable moment for both child and mother: "
The culmination of his awesome journey was winning "Best Picture" at the New York Film Festival and the call of all calls; a film company wanting to buy his film for North America Distribution.

Dreams do come true!" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.
