Delightful Unique True Your wish is my wish, too

Wow. The story was warm, wonderful. Your segues are perfect; the story flows from one theme to another without a hitch or a flinch. Unless, I was chuckling (which I did at several points). It was such a delight to read...honest, sweet. I loved the gender-based assumptions; enough to be real, embellished for fun. The part about parenting 'Daddy' was special. But, mostly, the storytelling is spot on. I would love to read more of your unique interpretations of mythology, folklore and especially...

I like "You may be liked / But can you do /What your suppose to". It commanded my attention and called my own conscious into question. I, also, felt led towards a revelation and was a little disappointed to find a reprimand at the end.

It's beautiful. It's tragic. It is very real. The segue from one one thought to another is handled well. "We could have made love, but she vomited." In this context-sex & emesis-are appropriately placed in the same sentence because that is a reality of the disease. I loved the 'way' the ill woman is honored by her lover. I really liked it.

There is an large community of people who share this reality. Ain't life grand :) liked it

Sad, but true.

I felt the loneliness and the shadows of the rooms you walked me through-I felt the deep sadness, so bad you don't dare listen to the radio. "your smile in a cracked frame": these six words are a memoir-I can imagine a fight, the picture being broken and later returned to it's original place-why? because they regret. I loved it.

I like "clambering for meaning"-the universal struggle is well defined here. It creates intense energy, but then it goes completely the other way with soft explanation. Hmnn.

It's endearing. I have ran across five or six memoirs about love, but yours and only one other were hopeful. The other memoir basically came to a similar conclusion...Love is a verb! Nice

It seems both, saying everthing about the character and yet I know nothing about the character whatsoever. This is a good memoir submission, better than most I have read. Nice job. It's nice to be left wondering, yet still have the answer.
