...you have given us the back and forth of time...as one rocking remembers all that she has lived...and of a flight...to one day visit her loved ones.

I like the softness of this poignant write...as if while rocking, the view of her life is softened through a lace curtain...

A sort of quiet hush evolopes this lovely piece with the lonely sound of a wooden rocking chair gently swaying. Memories of lives long past, yet vivid in the mind with a wealth of stories to savor and pass on. A lover of rocking chairs for the peace and solitude they conjure, your imagery is crystal clear in this masterful piece.....

Be always safe,
Karen

A lovely piece... I enjoyed reading; I have an aunt who just turned 100 this past October and who, I might add, is still enjoying life... she tells me upon each visit, "always keep your trust in God"... I listen, she "must" know!

aging is evil.
i worked in a resthome for 5 years... i was aged 18-23 and i had a blast. the old ladies loved me coz i was always bringing in crazy stories from the outside and they all owned me as a granddaughter.
but the one thing they all said, between moments of telling me about their youth and loves and lives, was "jayde...NEVER get old!"

this is a good piece.
capturing the reality of aging well.
