LJ Idol Presents:

"Other people have already mentioned both of the lines that I was originally going to mention. So I'll go with something different and mention the impact of "and gifted it to me with her own self." It was found, worked, loved and made into something much greater than just glass. It became part of the protections from her, keeping those spirits at bay. Your work is always great, and listening to it just makes it better. Your Mother liked it - which, of course she did, it was great. But since this is question time - what would you have done if she hadn't? Or, if her reaction had been more "It's OK" "

I've written... less kinds poetry about her in the past. I wouldn't have posted that in such a public forum. The fact that she liked it helps; But I was pretty sure that she would like it; She is one of my biggest fans. :-). And, to be honest, if I was somehow wrong in my assumption that she would like it, I would address it in therapy.
