Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

It's been a brilliant week for some hard-hitting pieces.  After much thought and re-reading, Story of the Week goes to well-wisher for 'A Typical Friday Night'. The quality of the writing makes every word of this story break your heart: https://www.abctales.com/story/well-wisher/typical-friday-night

In complete contrast, Poem of the Week is Penny4athought's 'Sounds From The Heart'.  Though not specifically about Christmas, this lovely piece sums up what a lot of people will be feeling about those who, at this time, will not be with us for one reason or another:  https://www.abctales.com/story/penny4athought/sounds-heart
