Just delightful and so charming a picture not only of childhood but of a loving family! That's the best William! Well done. Congrats and hats off to your winning Tanka(s)! I was wondering if we could write more than one. I am so happy to see that you did. It is a wonderful story. Mahalo my friend. Blessings!

A female sponsor (whose name I've forgotten) had specified "a" Tanka? or Haiku? and her top winners had more than "a" and or several. Later, Andrea gave a specific notice in her contest to be one, and only one and no more than, so due to its ambiguous nature and flightiness of said sponsor (not this sponsor) wherein, many single posters faired 3rd or less -- it's uncomfortable being under a bus. Fool me once...
