i loved this poem. I spent years splashing cash thinking it would impress. Then my daughter came along with gifts that meant so much and I was transformed. A message of love in each gift. Caring...a huge plus in the world of giving.

So powerful and so frightening. I still have a fear of being lonely even with my family around me. Wonderful writing. I felt as if I was inside Tilly's head watching and sharing her observations and thoughts.
