   I am just coming by to wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart. I am going to print this post out and read in the glow of my Christmas tree (can’t wait).

   Thanks for another Xmas story, you know I love all your work.

   Be well and more later….

   Oh Sarah, I, too, enjoyed this.
   I was so happy that Gem was able to have other foster kids in her home. I felt bad for her after Sally left even though it was good for her to be with her Daddy, especially since he wanted her. The thing I liked most about this story was the fact that Gem was so quick witted and sharp. Her character was inspiring. The dialogue was great too.

   2 thumbs up!

   hi kimmie!
   i’m glad you liked the story - it was interesting writing it and trying to get the point of view of both an old woman and a young child and the way in which they saw the world. i always enjoy letting my characters make their journeys, while i make the written record. thanks for reading.
   love,
   sarah

   i was so sad when Sally left! Happy, too, but sad for Gem.
   A good writer can create emotion in the reader, and you’ve done it.

   i was so pleased with how the story of Gem ended.
   Your settings were well described and i could feel the cozy in Gem’s home.
   Also, i love making my girls cocoa from scratch.

   Good, good work.

   hi christine!
   thanks so much for sitting still and reading the whole thing. i know it’s long but it refused to end at a manageable length. i’m glad you liked it, i value your opinion very much - sally and gem wiggled into my heart from nowhere but i think they are here to stay.

   Sarah, thanks for asking about my son. He has stayed tremendously busy over there; and he’s set to leave on February 6th! Should make it back home on 2/10. His wife is counting the minutes!

   lolly, i will pray for your son’s safe return. i know it must be very difficult for your entire family to know he is over there. but bless him that he stands the watch like so many others. i am in awe of those young men and women - they are the real american idols.
   love,
   sarah
