Mo, if there was an ounce of genuine emotion on that thread before I posted I'll eat your hat. That pack of ninnies did not get real until they attacked me, then their tender side was really exposed. Tender side = bare a$$. They have "feelings" for fakery, but not for a real person who has been through real loss and dares to challenge them to reach deeper or give it up.
I do compare that unoriginal reworked poem to Elton John's weepy song for a dead blonde - any famous dead blonde will do. If you criticize Elton's song, then you must hate all blonde people and wish them dead and unmourned.
You lost your father when you were a little girl, so it can touch something inside you that is still young and raw and will always be - but these adults have no excuse for being so defensive as if it is personal. If one of them is a little girl who lost her father on 9-11, I'll post a HUGE public apology.
Val .. I am not getting into this fight with you ..
I don't claim to know your experiences of what your life has been like .. but I can try to understand which is also like trying to understand a poem or a song or even a painting ..
It is a feeling .. an understanding .. not an experience
