- "I recently lost my Mother... I thank you for this contribution. The anger and pain are so real. I never thought I would resent someone who still has what I lost. I spent last night crying, and the day trying to forget. My thoughts are with you. Beautiful piece. "

- "I've never really lost anyone close to me before, so I guess I have something to be thankful for. I'm not very close with my father though, so sometimes I feel very protective over my mother, like she's all I have. I can't say I know how you feel and I hope I never will. But still, this was inspiring and I think I needed to read it. Thank you so much."

- "I have moved on, but once we move on it always comes back. There are days when i see a family or a great mother moment on tv that it comes crashing back. It sucks but I'm glad you could write about it."

- "It's not time that heals, nor do we really ever heal - so to speak. We forget, each wound, physical and non-physical, even when they do "heal" - still change us - forver, the time as a healer thing is just a really simple way of saying - hey - once you can get yourself to forget, you'll be okay. And somethings are just too much to forget, and somethings just aren't things we WANT to forget - too precious to forget. But we have to live around our pain, work around it, and push it to the back of our minds - or so I'm told. *hugs* and my condolences. ~Withering~"

- "Ouch. Time heals nothing, especially death. The closer we get to our own, the more we are reminded of those that are already gone, and we get closer with every second of time, no matter how young or old we are. I will cry like it was yesterday if I let myself dwell on my father's death and it's been two and a half years. It doesn't dull; it just hides in the back of your head until you least expect it, then jumps out and hits you with a f-ing Louisville slugger...heartfelt poem and I felt it..."

- "this piece represents the very essence of poetry -- its flow, its layers, its strengths and weaknesses, and most of all, its resonance... this poem did nothing short of resonate with all who dared to read it. It brought back both the painful and delightful memories of my grandmothers, and their respective passing... you have accomplished wonder here... thank you."

- "ya know, I've never commented on this work, despite having read it over a dozen times. it leaves me feeling empty... imagining, of all things, my mom. (wow, who woulda thought) and how I should call again tonight, and say something stupid so she can correct me and chuckle... give her a chance to talk to the kids so they can see the side I always thought didn't exist through my teen years. 112% spot on here... thank you."
