Tahera, the best poems are the ones that are short and leave the readers thinking... this is one of them. Congratulations on the win.

I hope your mother-in-law treats you well, Tahera. Wishing you success in Dr. Ram's contest! I have been wondering about your surgery. Have you had it yet? You're in my prayers. I've been having health problems too. Take care, sweetie. Love, Carolyn
