Awww! It had a happy ending! That's rare with life. :P
It's amazing reading about the woman who inspired Ashes and Acorns. That was (I think) the first really good story I read on Steemit and probably what convinced me to look around for those darn tootin' Writer's Block folks!
She sounds amazing. She reminds me of a woman my mom works for. Both her and her husband are in their eighties, but they're smart as whips and hilarious to sit and talk with. They're loving and kind and you'll gain weight when you step into their house.
Thanks for sharing! You're the best <3
