Comments for The Last Duet: Page 1

Val, another delightful, but heart-wrenching submission from you. 😁

You know that your mother was there, singing along with you, don't you? Your sisters saw it, even if your eyes were closed and you missed it. You must have had a very special place in her heart.

I never realised that you had Irish blood in you, or maybe I have just forgotten. Small wonder that you are fey. 😉

Thank you for submitting another account from you eventful life. You are a strong woman and I have much admiration and respect for you my friend. ❤

Valkricry - What a heart warming, indescribably beautiful story. I don't doubt for a minute that your mother had a special connection with you, despite your being one of eight children. Not that she loved you more but just that connection.

I read your story of ending up on the street, an account which really moved me. I wasn't a member when I read your accounts but nevertheless read them all.

However I believe that your father must have loved your mother very much to ask you to sing to her one last time. Perhaps he was even regretting the heartache he caused you but too stubborn to admit it.

Although you play it down Val, I think you must have a beautiful voice. It doesn't have to be soprano to be beautiful!

There probably was not a dry eye at that funeral. I would probably have used up a bunch of tissues if I had been there. I cry at good events and at sad ones.

You truly are one amazing woman.

Regards, Melda

Awe Val. Of course she was right there with you, urging your voice to sound as much like hers as possible. What a truly touching and heartfelt account. ❤ ❤ ❤

😭

I really have nothing to say, but maybe see my next submission when it gets posted. (If it does.:)

Thank you for another beautiful story, Val!
Blessings, Seraphina

How beautiful! I love your stories, Val. As Manafon said, your accounts are well written, you should put it all together in a book, it would be a great seller!

Beautiful, Valkricry, just stunning. Gave me gooseflesh. I'm Irish, too, on my mother's side, and I can tell you that the Irish reputation for being fey - having supernatural powers - is spot on.

I cannot fool my mother. She always knows.

I believe everything happened just as you describe it. Your mother chose you for a reason. And she WAS there.

How you could sing that particular song without breaking down is amazing to me.

valkricry--This was another exceedingly well written and moving piece. It really seems like another chapter in a book. Your accounts are filled with subtle personal details that make them breathe and come alive. You really should write a memoir.

It certainly seems like your Mother's spirit was singing along with you that day and if your sisters said they saw her, then it must have been so! What a comforting and moving farewell from your Mom. It seems possible that all that practice wasn't just for you but for her as well. So she could, in spirit, join her daughter in song.
