Thank you for all your comments. I knew the photos had to have some kind of sad “real” story, but as I said in the author’s note, I had no knowledge of it. The photos just pulled and tugged at me, so I wrote what I wrote.

That was a neat story. I have sat with people in nursing homes, or their own homes, and heard their stories. And it’s always a wonderful thing to sit and listen to someone relive parts of their lives in words.

Goes without saying that we all have stories we would rather not tell, so don’t. None of us is free of stuff like that. But for that lady to be able to tell her own sweet story was good for her. I’m glad Ray wrote that and we got to read it.

I went to Admire every Thursday last year and I never did see that side of the school building! That must be the north side? No, it can’t be……there’s small buildings there–is this the west side? I did drive downtown one time, but I usually drive to the school, meet with the teacher, and on to my next school. I should pay more attention! (I wish they would take away that old dilapidated trailer house that sits east of the school.)

Well, I’m very sorry to hear about that. God bless those that were involved. You’re right – the fiction story is better.
