WELCOME !
110th Challenge
Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers
Week of 04-11 through 04-17-2017
My mother has passed away so please forgive me for not being able to read or comment on your stories this week. I hope you will continue to read and comment on each other's stories.
This week's photo prompt is provided by Maria with Doodles and Scribbles. Thank you Maria!
Guide for Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers
1. A prompt photo will be provided each Tuesday to be used as a base to your story. Please include photo prompt with your story.
2. Linking for this challenge begins on Tuesday and runs to the following Monday evening.
3. Please credit photo to photographer.
4. The story word limit is 100 – 150 words (+ – 25 words). Please try and stay within this limit.
5. Pingback to the challenge post in your story's post.
6. This is a flash fiction challenge (stories in 100-175 words or less) and each story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Therefore, no serial (continuation) stories. They become too complicated for our readers.
7. Add your story to the InLinkz Link-up (Blue Froggy button). Please let me know if you need link-up instructions.
8. Please keep stories below R rating.
9. Please respect the diversity of our readers and writers in regard to race, religion, and life style choice when writing your stories.
10. Remember, half the fun is reading and commenting on each other's stories.

Oh my goodness, PJ I am so sorry to read about your mother. My condolences for your loss. Please take all the time you need to make it through this time. I’m sure we would all understand if the weekly challenge prompts need to go on a hiatus until you feel up for it again. I would miss the prompts terribly but your health, mental and emotional, is top priority. Sending you love and hugs ❤

I’m sorry that your mother was having to suffer and it is a good thing that her suffering is now over. My mother fell in early February and had a difficult time after that. A blood clot went to her lungs and she just faded away after that. Thank you for the hugs.

Thank you Jodi. I send you a comment about it but when I didn’t hear back from you I knew that you didn’t get the comment otherwise I would have heard from you. I understand. It has been a difficult week trying to get funeral arrangements made and getting her body here for the funeral. We had to put the funeral for next week so her brother (only living sibling) can come. I will probably be away from the blogs next week too. I have been reading and replying to comments but not reading any posts. Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to me. Much love! XO

Honestly Jodi, I am in shock. I had made airline reservations to go see her and before I could get there she passed away. It doesn’t seem like she has died. It just seems like a bad dream and I will wake up from it. I think when I see her in the casket it will hit me and become real. Thank you so much for your warm thoughts and words. Monday and Tuesday are going to be very hard.

I was going to ride down with my niece and her husband and kids. Mom was alert and knew her visitors then. I was packed to go. My brother asked me to wait because he thought it would be too many visitors for her and so I waited and made airline reservations to go. I wish I had ridden down with my niece.

I know, I shouldn’t second guess. I did what my brother and I thought was best at the time. I at least got to talk to her and tell her I was coming down to see her. And, I did get to talk to her daily until she went to sleep. The Hospice nurses gave her moraphine and she went to sleep and never woke back up. She died about 24 hours later.

Oh yes, he did. He was just crushed that I didn’t get to see her. He kept telling her, “please hang on until Patty can get here, please just hang on a few more days.” Of course she was in a deep sleep and probably didn’t know what he said.

They actually say hearing is the last sense to go so she may have heard and felt comforted. She knows you were with her in love.

I have heard that too. I hope she did hear him. I had talked to her before she went to sleep and knew I was trying to get there. That comforts me.
