Kimo? Huh. I'm paused there. I see this won so my 'huh' isn't a reflection on your skill, but my ignorance about Kimo! Plus, don't ask me which one, as a Libra, I'd need all day to decide. Enjoyed it, pause and all ... CayCay

Lovely imagery, reminds me of a relative allowing a young girl to have one piece. She will always feel great love for whatever she chooses because of the memory of that special moment together. Beautiful writing Jan:) lynnxxx

I went to a funeral today Doug it was sad going back to the house and seeing all his treasured possessions that will probably end up being disposed of to auction or a charity shop:-( hugs jan xx
