A very well done nostalgic trip down memory lane. My wife and I raised five kids and your story brought back memories of our family of misfits and vagabonds. Good writing. Never give up the good fight. cf

I enjoyed your story. I especially like how little catastrophes can lead to memorable moments.
Elizabeth,
what a wonderful story and you wrote it so beautifully. Excellent message that each reader should come away from it--bringing their own memories with them, as they leave.
Great work, my friend.

A wonderful ebb and flow between present and past...so captivating and inspiring .I've already voted. Wish u the best of luck !
I liked your story. I found your writing style varied and fluent. Keeping me interested with your clever ways of moving from paragraph to the next. You were able to slip into current and previous tense without hick up and your final paragraph very poignant.
Well done.
Hi Rebekah, thank you for the delightful comments; I've been writing for a while, and still, each endeavor feels like the first, my enthusiasm never wanes for this grand ogre called writing. I say ogre because it is at all times demanding of one's full attention, of one's... mehr anzeigen
Elizabeth, I loved your book. It was so genuine and descriptive. I truly enjoyed the extensive detailing of each of your children's possessions and the deep emotional attachment you suddenly experience. I have had these same reactions to objects of the past that suddenly resurface. Though I'm not a mother, I understand the sudden feeling of nostalgia that a simple photo or baby toy can bring up. I especially enjoyed the... mehr anzeigen

A charming story that I can relate to. I hope you win the contest.
Thanks Susan, for your kind words; and thanks, too, for being a supportive bookrix friend. Wa do, Elizabeth
I thought I had commented on this piece when I had read it. Apparently not. I loved this story for triggering memories of bits and pieces we still display though our oldest just celebrated his 44th birthday. Some of us have only memories and today is a blur. Thank God for His small mercies. Thank you for sharing and reminding us of our blessings..Paula
Thanks cf, for the warm words concerning A Ticket to the Past. Sharing life with children often is a journey into wonderland...you wonder how, or if, you'll survive it! Ha! As one raises a child, it is mostly a test to see who learns the most; and in counseling a child when... mehr anzeigen
Thanks cf, for the warm words concerning A Ticket to the Past. Sharing life with children often is a journey into wonderland...you wonder how, or if, you'll survive it! Ha! As one raises a child, it is mostly a test to see who learns the most; and in counseling a child when times are difficult, as a parent, I've very often come away from the moment with a better understanding not only of my child, but also of myself! =;-) Wa do, Elizabeth
