Read this

 "Imagine everything you love of the world taken from you. Now imagine it being taken from your child."

Read the entire essay here.
Don't plan to do anything else for a couple minutes after.

    I hope this writer continues to write. A novel in that voice would be incredible.

    Very powerful and heart-wrenchingly sad ...

    I wonder how that story would read when told from a woman's perspective?

    What would be the focus of her memories and which ones would she choose to share with her readers?

    You know something's good when you read one essay and immediately hit Amazon to find anything by that author - their memoir is preordered already!

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
