The Old Commandment
Come. Come read to me.
He loved Heaney’s Open Ground.
I loved him, so I did.
I was midway through Death of a Naturalist,

“I loved him. So I did.” brought me to tears. The best kind.
Thank you, Heather.
I know this – this genesis and this end. I fed, cleaned and changed my bedridden mother the last 18 mos of her life. I truly loved her, so I did.
Patricia, well done…well done.
“It was troubles.”
Christie, it really was.
” Child is Father to the man”

This is poignant. Real love is often composed of troubles.
Thanks, Melinda.
