- "Bethany, I am so proud of the woman you have become and I am so proud to have the honor of calling you daughter and hearing you call me mom. There is no greater honor than that of being a mom. Anyone can be a Mother but to be CHOSEN as your mom, well that is a special honor. You are now 17 and just got your first bank account and I see you growing up and away and I am frightened. I do not want to lose you to the big bad world but I also want you to spread your wings and fly because I can see the amazing things that you have in store for you and your future. I know you will do great things with your life and I am proud to have been able to contribute to the beautiful and wonderful woman you have become. You have grown so much and so far in the three years we have had you here with your dad and me and I wouldn?t trade a single second of it (even when your head was up your butt) because you bring joy to all those you encounter. Bethany, be proud of you, hold your head high always, and walk into your every day knowing that you are the goddess of your own world and you do not need anything or anyone to define you or make you into something because you, your spirit, your loyalty, glow, vibrancy, imagination, emotion, sensitivity, wit, talent, and friendship define you and cannot be matched by any other.
I love you darling girl!
Mom

- "I really like this one. Especially this part
"All I remember is swimming too long
In a sea of desperate regret..
And waking up here, to find that my life
wasn't quite over, yet."
That is an amazing line.
Love you, Mom"

I love you Allen, I know this day is so hard for you. I wish I knew how to comfort you...
Do a few shots of Patrone in Trish's honor, maybe even rip up a few holy books just like old times because that is what Trish would have you do..."

- ""My nose wakes me to the smell of coffee. My new alarm clock since my caffeine addiction." my favorite lines my dear! I loved that! I also really liked the proposal...How in the heck does a 15 year old conjure that kind of intimacy up? You have an amazing talent and I hope you never let it go, in fact, I wont allow you too…J Your details in this piece were amazingly vivid and evoke every detail you were writing about for the reader. I could even smell the hazelnut coffee and the rose shampoo. Very wonderful!"

- "You have an intense ability to bring envoke emotions here. I could smell what you were smelling and feel what you were feeling. My favorite lines were "Of roads to take
And best not taken." Very nice! The poems was very erotic and emotional and truly left me wanting to know why you two arent together, what happened? A good read always leaves you wanting more and this did!

- "Very good write Beth. I am so proud of you and your willingness to confront your demons head on through your writing. I am saddened by this though because your existance was so messed up before. I listen to you talk and read what you write and it just breaks my heart that anyone would do the things she has done...and her comment below just pisses me off to no end...The truth sucks for her but how dare she try and chastize you for you feelings and how dare she try to turn the blame on you, you were just a child and she was supposed to be the Mother...I am very sorry my dear. Thank goodness you are out of there. Sweet dreams"

- "Bethany, I am so so sorry that certain people seem to want to stake claim to your words...your heart...I know it makes you crazy but you dont have to live like that anymore...She cannot hurt you anymore as long as you dont let her...It is my job and your dads job to protect you...and I promise you this...I will! You are safe and loved and respected and protected and we will take care of you now... Be a kid, because you finally can."

I loved the way that you switched the perspective from your personal perspective to how you think mine would be and dare I say...you nailed it! Great Job Beffrany..."

- "You have an amazing gift little lady. You have this ability to delve in so deep and rip out the deepest darkest emotions of it all and find a way to turn the ugliest hurts into something beautiful. Even though Megan isnt here, I know she has to be able to feel us loving her. I believe that each time we think of her, write of her she feels a warmth envelope her and she knows...she knows in her heart. You cant sever bonds such as these. Be patient Beth, we are in the final stretch and she WILL be home soon...Tides have turned...finally
Great write Bethany!!! You are a true poet.
Love you"

- "very nice little lady, isnt it funny how you can start off writing with a subject or purpose in mind and then you end up throwing so much of your self into it??? We both know this is not really about PATD...maybe that is what you started out wanting to write about but if you go back and read it, there are some realities lurking in the background here arent there...and just for the record as your mom...their first CD was awesome but the second one SSSUUUCCCKKKSSS!!! love you girlie!"

- "Always be true to yourself Beth, Never ever try to become of conform for any one missy! You are perfectly imperfect just as you are and I love you all the more for your individuality and your fearlessness...what is it that you always say? The ones that mind dont matter and the ones that matter dont mind!!!"

- "Oh Beth, this is very good sweet girl. Keep it up and remember, that as you and I know what is behind these poems and understand that you have found a way to use your writings as your therapy, not everyone that reads them will understand that. People on this site are mostly very supportive and kind and offer up constructive criticism to help you grow as a writer, you have to be open to their comments and try to learn from them as there are some Very talented people on here. I love you dear girl! Gina"

- "The fact of the matter is that you dont put up any work because you dont have the capability of creating any work! I know that for people like you, you must beat down others to build yourself up in your own mind. You dont offend me, you are a worm. "
