i'm one week away
from the day that
my gift to madeline
becomes something that
people will publicly
judge, both
positively and negatively.
some will praise
the "story," some will
criticize the writing.
some will find
something to
relate to and
others will wonder
how the hell
i "did it."
i'm ready for all
of that,
but more than
anything, i hope that
someday my daughter
reads it and
realizes just how
much i love her.
No doubt, she will.
ReplyDeletethere can be no doubt that she will!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to find the book in my mailbox this past Tuesday. I wanted to save it for the plane ride to Florida this weekend but I couldn't resist and am now a few chapters in. So far I'm completely enthalled. I too lost my love and became a single parent in what seemed like a swish of air.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your story. I'm an avid reader of your blog and have found your words comforting on many a sad day. The fact that someone can say what I'm often times feeling helps me to feel "normal" in a world where since losing my love, I often feel like an outsider.

ReplyDeleteI just ordered it on my Kindle. Can't wait for it to autoload on the 14th. Thanks for sharing this deeply personal story.
ReplyDeleteI received your book and read it all in roughly 5 hours and I LOVED it! Filled with so much emotion. Maddy will LOVE it and I KNOW that Liz is very proud of you!
