for sure, Jan. You did a great job with this challenge. I need to put my thinking cap on for so many of these contests (are women allowed to write in the love poem contest of soup) Write as if we are a man?

Yes, truly...although I think perhaps that it's the life-changing opportunities that don't come along every day... Those are the ones we rue not seizing, as others don't come along in their wake. Nicely done, Jan! (soup mail, please). :) gw

I had to pause because I always tear up when I see pics of Robin Williams, can't 'absorb' his ending. BUT the write is great, right on and a strong truth - truly a contest contender written by a wise and good woman! All the best to you, dearest ... CayCay
