congratulations on your fantastic win, nette. Sorry you lost your two siblings. Dale was killed by a drunk driver years ago. He was really the best guy I ever met! Luv, Andrea

Oh Nette, this is perfect. It made me read it again and again, each time finding a new feeling, a new vision. Congratulations. I think this is what a haiku should be. Hidden at first, then revealing slowly the meaning, the scene to be found inside. Congratulations.
