Mother and Daughter.
I joined Abctales in 2010 and my daughter Julia a year later (2011). Unfortunately due to ill health, despite having been a prolific writer since childhood, she only managed to post a small number of pieces whilst active on the site. Following her unexpected and preventable death in 2016, I posted more of her poems on my own account under her username, which seemed a logical step at the time.
In 2019 her entire body of work was published by Cerasuspoetry.com in a book entitled WAITING FOR ANOTHER VELVET MORNING, which is still available on Amazon (proceeds to charity}. Her original work still remains on her account Overthetop.
I don't write as much now, though the occasional piece pops up once in a while.

No you may not be fine, but your description of not being fine, resonates.
I'm not fine either by the way.

Dear brilliant Terry, yesterday you sent me the draft of this for approval.
I messaged you back to say words fail me; it's such a beautifully written piece, full of emotion, there's absolutely nothing I could criticise.
Thank you...

Great writing as always, but I advise all readers to check out the illustrations.
The photographs are something else.

Where on earth did this come from? Or what inspired it late at night?
I'm too old to remember whether or not my kids had lego but I guess they did, if their peers did.
I need a lie down after reading all that x
