This scene was completely my own creation, so it's very gratifying to hear that the emotions in it are very real. ** I enjoyed your addition to Jacquie's life! Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Sam, my pleasure. :)<BR/><BR/>Melly, such kind words and compliments. Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Mermaid, you've sensed my intention precisely. There is so much power and drama in human feelings and interractions. Writing for this blog during the past year has taught me that compelling stories don't always need fantastic plots, murders, and explosions.<BR/><BR/>Also, I take your comment about my intuition as a great compliment. Observation, listening, and intuition are part of my nature. Knowing your sensitivity, I'm not suprised you perceive it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-1159752533800716932006-10-01T21:28:00.000-04:002006-10-01T21:28:00.000-04:00'She listened to Emily's voice, but the words were...'She listened to Emily's voice, but the words were not important. She listened and the minutes passed while the sleepy world crawled on without them.'<BR/><BR/>I can feel the two women's voices, and their breaths, and their heartbeats trapped in time, in a telephone, in marriage, on paper here.<BR/><BR/>It measn a lot that you, as a male, are able to catch the subtle nuances of women, their roles, and especially the bond between mother and daughter.<BR/><BR/>Maybe this was never your intention, but the reader gets to decide, right?<BR/><BR/>I'm always sobered by your attention to details of the world and the wide array of emotions and connect/disconnections between humans in their relationships.mermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895749686844178804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-1159710336740817172006-10-01T09:45:00.000-04:002006-10-01T09:45:00.000-04:00Very.

I value my daughters' friendships.<BR/><BR/>And I remember calling my Mom from the hotel room the night after Dave and I got married. I told myself it was to let my parents know that we had arrived safely, but part of it was also to touch base... the need to know that even though I was a married woman now, she was still my Mom.<BR/><BR/>This is such a great project that Sam has started. Not only to honour his sister but I think he is touching others as well. I know I was so touched that I wrote a story for Jacquie too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-1159626361976926312006-09-30T10:26:00.000-04:002006-09-30T10:26:00.000-04:00Kelly, I was intrigued from the moment I heard abo...Kelly, I was intrigued from the moment I heard about it.<BR/><BR/>Anna, yes, she raised a very fine daughter.
