When I was living ...This was absolutely beautiful.<br /><br />When I was living in South America, I fell in love with a little boy in the neighborhood as well. It didn't have quite the same transformational affect on me because I'd always known I wanted to have children, but I still think of him all the time and pray that he is happy and well taken care of. As I prepare to have my own son in July, the idea of mothering (our own children and others) has really been coming full circle for me, and this essay drove right to the heart.<br /><br />What a beautiful, beautiful piece.Rachel @ Lautaret Bohemiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386970771824268791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-63174298971692571372010-05-12T12:02:44.362-04:002010-05-12T12:02:44.362-04:00Wow!

I am truly honored.<br /><br />I wrote this essay typing one-handed while nursing my baby (as I do most of my writing these days), and I almost didn't send it in because I didn't think it was any good. Glad I took the chance. <br /><br />Thanks to Rixa and the judges and to everyone for your kind comments.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802460524219101589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-41009617701836310952010-05-12T09:47:13.784-04:002010-05-12T09:47:13.784-04:00Wow, that was beautiful.Wow, that was beautiful.Mrs. Schaiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304387340263329501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-87417608618262512612010-05-12T09:42:08.923-04:002010-05-12T09:42:08.923-04:00This was wonderfully written.
