Individuality is very important and indeed we tend to lose track of this very profound character whether we know it or not.

Hi Jen

You have so passionately brought out beautifully and most touchingly, the woman, the mother, the wife, and so many other roles she has to play - all rolled into one - woman; doing everything for everyone, and all but forgetting her self, her travails in the process. That's why, for me, women are placed between man and God.

You have captured the unfortunate essences of many women...

Oh this is so powerful and passionate, dear Jen...it is truth for certain.  How often we can forget 'ourselves' in the wonderful and magnificent role of mothering and 'wife' duties.  You are on fire with your writing --- Elyse

Beautiful Jeanie,  an empathetic masterpiece. I loved the comparison of her fragmented life to the broken glass, and the drop of water on the glass being her tears...wow,  that is brilliant... It is such a true life moment.

Amen, my dear daughter. We have a tendency to put our needs on the back burner.  How are you doing? Love you always, mom
