A personal event inspired me to write "The Rose Garden" story.

Beautifully written story.It brought me back memories of my mother too.
The connection we have with our mother is of a different nature,and cannot be compared to any other relationships. I am sure your mother is watching you over.Dreams have meanings too,and often reflects our thoughts and emotions.

Memories warp and fade,never die.

Let the fragrance of that garden stay for ever,Doris.

Just a beautiful story and wonderfully written.
Wonder if she had visited your brother also.
I sometimes get visits from my deceased father in my dreams and it is such a blessing.
Thank you

DORIS ~
I enjoyed the short story! Do you believe that our loved ones who pass on retain their consciousness and sometimes really do interact with us in our dreams?

What a touching and heart warming story.
I believe that dreams are a way for people to communicate with us.

I have missed your writing! will try to catch up

Great story, thanks for taking us along with you.

I think dreams are a form of communication, too. No one will ever be able to convince me otherwise, too many interesting things have happened.

Lovely story.
Congrats, too.

Nice story. I tried to leave a comment there but I'm not sure if the captcha thing screwed it up or not. I didn't see the comment.
But I enjoyed the story nevertheless.

A beautiful story beautifully written. I can see why it was selected. The mother-daughter connection is such a special one, and you wrote so eloquently about those special feelings.

The rose is beautiful and so is your story! You're a great short story writer, Doris!

My mother also visits me sometimes in my dreams, and I wake up trying to review the encounter with her , look for some message from her, and then wait.. for her next visit.

Doris this story was great! It reminded me of the dreams I had so frequently of my mother after her death. I only wish they were as frequent now as years past. I have to admit that my eyes teared up when I realized it was all a dream.As nice as my dreams of my own mother are they are sad as well because I always have to leave her behind once I wake.

You're a great writer Doris....
