Hi Lisa

Hi Tina

What a beautful tribute to your daughter. So often it is that our children know much more about things than we do, and appreciate them in different ways. I really was moved by this piece.

Hi Bee,

I too could feel your anticipation and then your disappointment, but it must have been lovely seeing your daughter again after all those years. And there will be more occasions, I am sure.

Hi Linda

Good to have a recap of the previous bits of the story. But this is ending up such a bloody mess. I can't see a happy ending in sight.

Hi Bee

I wasn't expecting that ending. But I know the feel of buying things you don't want and need to make you feel better when there is something that upsets you that you can't do anything about.

HI Linda

Just a couple of things an American is unlike to say - "ring" somebody. You'd call. "booked" in at a motel - you'd check in.

Still enjoying the story.
