You found a way to weave her most precious find into your life, and it means so much more than the piddling sum the dealer offered. This essay delights on many levels.
Always a pleasure to read your work Beth. I love prompts and how they can turn into wonderful stories like the one you wrote. I had a similar experience with a prompt of a photograph that turned into a First Person story in the G&M about my mum and her connection to the Battle of the Somme.

Thank you, Rona. As you well know, mothers are an inexhaustible source of stories!

What a touching story .I enjoyed seeing how it evolved from the initial prompt.
I love your writing Beth.
Thank you, Melanie. It means a lot when readers get in touch - especially when they say such nice things!
