I admire the narrator of this story for taking a blind leap of faith into the future to create a more beneficial family life. You described the defining moment with great clarity.

Thank you for your review. I appreciate your kind words and paraphrase of tapping the white cane. It was indeed a blind leap of faith.

Thank you, Ricky . . . I didn't win the contest, and I didn't expect to. I didn't think it was the type of piece that would win. I just wanted to "put it out there." . . . Thank you for your support.

Write on,

It is always the innocent babies that make us see more of what we want for ourselves and for them as they demand nothing but love and care. This short 50 word story allows the reader into the hopes and dreams of a parent and their young. Thank you for sharing.

A great response, ". . . the innocent babies that make us see more . . ." Thank you. I also love what you said about "allowing the reader into the hopes and dreams . . . ." As parents, we all aspire to do our best. And parenting, or co-shaping a human-being, is not easy.

Thanks again,
