I love the thinking you did, wondering what other fates and memories were held there. Haunting and lovely all in one breath.Betsy Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492340502962987362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099057137011147486.post-50806091449946674912012-06-19T00:33:29.699-04:002012-06-19T00:33:29.699-04:00Oh my, I am so taken by this, Robin.

It must have been a terrible time.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099057137011147486.post-66067422212157823012012-06-18T12:55:26.741-04:002012-06-18T12:55:26.741-04:00Robin,
As I read this, I sensed that as you wrote ...Robin,<br />As I read this, I sensed that as you wrote it, you became more and more a part of the scene (you began to relive it, not just see it). I think the tense changes throughout reflect that personal connection(or maybe I am imagining that). <br /><br />The imagery at the beginning was vivid for me. I could hear those beeps of a hospital (that eerie silence yet so noisy). <br /><br />The connection with the chair is so interesting. It's amazing how an object and bring up a memory and feelings.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this story. I had shivers as I read.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011661904689079860noreply@blogger.com
