Regret to Inform was a written work that portrayed the emotion of mothers whose sons were in the war. Reading it, I could get a whole picture and scene in my head of what was going on. I saw her standing up from the noise of a car running down the long driveway. Looking through the window curtains as the car finally stopped and a disciplined young man walks out, she held her hand over her mouth with her eyes wide and big. All this I saw when I read this. The way the author presents this moment is remarkable. The point in this writing that hit me the most was when she went to her sons room to dust it, to admire the success in that boys life, to be proud of him, and to relive the very memories of her son’s life. I could only imagine the hundreds of emotions and thoughts that went through her mind. It almost brings tears to my eyes…

I almost wrote about this one. It is very emotional, is one of the best ones. I could not imaine the feeling of having those kinds of news. Good job portaying the scene as it came to you.
ReplyDeleteThis one almost had me in tears. Ive been in that position of being the woman left at home and dreading a phone call or letter. I had someone who I was once very much in love with leave for Iraq on his second tour for 10 months. Its very emotional thing. This was very descriptive and I could see this scene in my minds eye.
