CJ, you are so good at weaving many emotions into a gripping story that tugs at my heart with empathy and pride in your ability to demonstrate the depth of sadness and emergence of the narrator from it. Well done.
As always, this brilliant and gifted writer has created images so vivid that I feel like I’m actually there. Though possessing a distinct sadness, this is another beautifully written story by a very accomplished individual.
A perfect description of a traditional Italian-American Christmas gathering wrapped around a family tragedy. You left the backstory perfectly unexplained, giving us just enough to feel the pain. Masterful writing, Connie.
Beautiful and heartbreaking story that reminds us that, to so many people, Christmas is a time of grief and mourning.
