Hello everyone,

We are heading into that season again. Christmas lights abound in my street and it’s time to think about setting up my decorations. I love my Christmas tree and all the lights and baubles, but I may have a problem this year. I have been adopted by a cat and she may find it even more fascinating than me. Time will tell…

This week’s stories begin with a story of true friendship and love, sent by Robert O’Meara and titled “Robe of Sorrows,” one of the titles in his book of short stories, “Love is a Six Day War.”

Then we have a poem of love and loss by Mary Penner titled, “I Am Always With You.”

Then a story plucked from my memoirs titled, “The Snow Storm and the Keys.” It could only happen to me…

Then the last four of Angie Carnegie’s six-word stories. If you have any that you would like to contribute, please send them to brendashort@writingblog.ca, and don’t forget to send your comments for the authors.
