Okay! Here’s my snippet this week! In honor of moms, I’ve chosen a snippet from my short story that never quite made it to the anthology I wished to submit to, but hopefully, I’ll find a home for it… here’s Through Her Sunken Dream, written to help bring awareness to mental illness, in specific for me, severe depression. Hope you like!

“Are you ready?”
Tara lifted her gaze to the door, seeing her mother standing there in a pretty blue dress bearing a floral pattern in lavender and pink. Her airy white sweater matched the handbag she carried in her left hand. Tara nodded, pushing her red hair over her shoulders, whispering, “Mom?”
Rebecca Webster crossed the room to cup Tara’s chin, her words quiet, “You are beautiful. You are a wonderful woman, you are my daughter, and I am so proud of you. Nothing will ever change that, Tara Diane; your dad and I couldn’t be prouder of you.”
This is so beautiful! (gets teary eyed)
Thankee, thankee! ❤ I'm so glad you like it!
Aww, lovely scene.
Thankee, Louise! 🙂
Lovely scene. Not everyone has such supportive mother as Tara. I hope she’s better!
Thankee! And tell me about it! I didn’t expect my own mother to take my coming out as well as she did! I find that I’m quite blessed, and so is my Tara! 🙂 She’s a fighter!
