Waiting For The Folks Comments

Well said. The dialogue format works perfectly and I like that you did not use instrusive and unncessary quotation marks. My own mother's memory held out pretty much until the last 3 or 4 years at the nursing home. She eventually did get to where she couldn't remember the places we'd lived as a family and for some reason that was the deeply sad to me. I still wonder if it wasn't all those drugs they pump them up with in there to keep them quiet that affected her memory. She was sharp as a tack before.

Whew, it is sad but beautiful too. The title is poignant and so apt! Rgds, Ivan
