I wrote a Cute Short Story

Last month my dad found out he no longer has cancer. He's still on pain medication and sleeps a lot. There are things that remind me of my recovery six years ago. Its scary but also helps me help my mum understand what's going on with my dad sort. Since he has a very straightforward personality who likes to be in control.

I follow The Craftie Ladies of Love Inspired and Elnora said I thought since it's writing day, why don't we all come up with a short, short story for this picture. I took this while we were in Arkansas. Can you create a two or three paragraph short tale about this picture. Remember to let your characters tell the story. When I have spare moments, I'll check in and see how we're doing!

This is what I wrote:
'So Aunty how'd you met Uncle?' Katie asked.
"I needed some air partway through my younger sister's garden wedding reception. The sun was just setting so I wondered away to find some quiet. Found myself walking along and gazing at the sunset and heard this voice over my shoulder
'I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there. So I am going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.'
'If that's the best line you've got you need your in trouble' I replied.
'I got it off google. But for the effort could I at least get your name.'
I laughed and told him my name was Alisha. We chatted for a bit and then I agreed to one date and the rest is best for another time. And now my favourite niece. It's time for you to not keep that nice young man waiting get down that aisle!'

And then I checked everyday to see what she thought. I really need to get a life if I this desperate for approval or maybe I'm don't feel very confident that what I wrote was any good.

It took sometime to write this as I guess I wanted to follow the guidelines.

Finally received feedback and she said - That is so cute. Thanks for being so brave.!! I wondered if everyone had left the planet!! Sweet story.

And I said - Thanks, yep I was wondering what happened or maybe busy with thanksgiving :)

I guess it's my way of coping with the aftermath of the last couple of months of hoping and praying that my dad would be healed from cancer.
