Hi Sue, to be honest I was going to skim, but you caught me with your honesty and bravery. I enjoyed reading about your experiences of pushing the boundaries of your writing and comfort, well done . I like WITD, but I am reticent to make a bigger commitment as it all takes timeβ¦but for you it really paid off π
Thank you, Susan. I can't think of a better compliment from a fellow writer than I stopped you from skimming, haha! I mean it, we all have so much on our plates, especially as Substack continues to grow. I take it as the highest compliment that you enjoyed my writing enough to slow and read. That means a lot to me. πππ
Dear Sue , you saying I am a fellow writer means a lot to me .
I still find it hard to think that , as I am in the foothills of writing, with so much to learn. Still onwards and upwards and good to know you on this journey .

Oh Sue, this is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so, so much for sharing this deeply moving read.
Awww, thank you Rebecca! I always appreciate your kind words. πππ
Great poem, but I especially loved the one about my Mom!
I had to show her I was safe in the water before she could go too.
:) I like that one too. It was one of the first ones I wrote and it made me feel good to remember. That was a very fun day! πππ
I love that your puss cat is called Bean! Xo
Yes, Bean and her sister Sis :) πππ
I love your poems. Beautifully written but I would expect nothing less.
Thank you, dear friend. πππ
