About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Hi Joy Author Icon,

Overall Impression:

What a beautiful story! It brought a tear to my eye.

Your story reached me at a time when I needed to read it. I confess, I am quite frightened of death. Of the process of dying itself, and of what comes after. I guess what I most fear is nothingness - the idea of my 'me' no longer existing. For some people that's a soothing thought, but not for me! And with having lost quite a few people over the past few years, I guess death has been on my mind.

The story of your Granduncle really touched me, then. What a wonderful man he was! What beautiful memories you have of him! And the message he gave you is so comforting. I love the thought that everyone is loved, no matter who they are, or where they are, or what they believe in. I have always felt that that is how it ought to be. It would be sad if people couldn't have a loving afterlife because they grew up in the wrong religion. We all of us deserve peace and love and care.

So, thank you for sharing this with us, Joy. It means a lot. *Heartv*

Suggestions:

I do have a couple of suggestions, dear Joy. I hope that you will find them helpful!

Paragraph 1:

*Snow2* At the end, He gave up...

I think that 'At' should be In.

Paragraph 4:

*Snow2* to his bedside several hours

I suggest adding the word 'for' here - for several hours.

My Rating:

This is a beautiful story that found me at the right time. Thank you for that.

I did have a couple of suggestions, but nothing major. For that reason, I will give this item a rating of 4.5 out of 5.

Thank you for sharing your work.

Write on!

Kit
