Six stars are in order for many reasons!
Congratulations on your 100th Milestone Post!
Bless your loving heart for dedicating this poem to all members of this FanStory family who have lovingly encouraged you AND each other--to be our best!
(Thanks, dear woman for the special mention...you know I'm so proud to be your fan and your friend!)
Let's not forget this beautifully written poem!
Your rhymes are awesome MONO-rhymed stanzas no less!
A toast to YOU!!!
You are a warrior... Battling through serious health issues for yourself and your husband--with you soon to undergo another surgery!
Please know you have so many friends here, each of us delighted to know you and each praying for your total and complete recovery!
(By the way everyone who knows you knows how deeply your admiration and respect for Roy is... He's a legend here among us!)
Here's to...
Your love of Jesus, family, friends and poetry
and?
The next Milestone!
Love!
Karenina

Karenina, my special friend, I am so so sorry that it took me this long to get back to you, but we have had some family emergencies lately and things have been crazy. I thank you so much for the lovely review, kind words and your gracious six stars. You can't possibly know what they all mean to me. Thank you again my dear friend.

No apologies needed, ever! Just prepare for Monday!
Prayers and Love!

. . . and here's a toast to YOU, Debi, for your milestone post of
100. You did a great job. Your lines were smooth with great
rhymes. Your words were straight from your heart. I'm honored
to be among your many friends. Your rhyming couplets were
smooth and created great imagery. I liked the monorhyme
within each verse. I understand you have so many friends and
would never leave any off your list. I loved the picture you paired
with your awesome poem. I'll be looking for more of your great
work.
Thanks for sharing and caring, Jan

I fully understood your plate was full. I knew you had pending surgery. I hope your surgery has gone well, and you will be home soon recuperating. Best wishes! Just get well!
