I did read the other two recent ones. Prose writing, for me, is the most difficult art. One of the things that makes it so is it's so damn subtle--it's the medium we use every day to talk and comunicate. If a piece of prose writing doesn't get my attention in the first few lines, I usually don't venture any further. So, yes, I read every word of the three posts, but "A Mother's Ways" worked best for me.
