Raise your hand if you’d read a story I’ve been working on? Still trying to decide if it’s worth sharing or not!

I lost my mom unexpectedly on July 23, 2018 -- pretty ironic considering what HC is about. It has been the hardest most excruciating pain to endure. I couldn't help but think about this story and how at the time when I had no idea what I was doing, I was expressing a future pain and a future fear that I have now unfortunately had to encounter. I put bits and pieces of my parents love in this story as inspiration and now it holds true meaning. The song patience that is featured in this story was performed at moms funeral by one of our closest friends. I now listen to it often remembering that, that was my parents song. I am fortunate to have the BEST family and the support system to get through this. 
          
          I now hold this story even closer to my heart. I know it could use some editing, especially the beginning but stick with it. It's got heart. I promise. And a BIG FAT THANK YOU to those of you who have given it a chance. I love you.

@deesmith004 I'm glad you're doing better. Congrats on your daughter! My daughter is only 9 months old, my son now two. All blessings, Dee. So many blessings. I saw that you're story is finally completed! Congrats on that as well!
            
            As for IAILWAIM? I've rewritten it! *Yells in excitement* I've started rewriting the story in 1st person! Can you believe it?! And what's even better is that I am writing this for myself, not for anyone else. Which means that I am listening to my characters better, fighting with them less and letting them lead the story forward. It's a lot slower in pace, but far more substantive. And I'm very happy about it.

@DawnStarling I’m doing alright! Thanks so much for checking in. I’d be doing a lot better if I had more IAILWAIM ;) I’ve missed you!

@deesmith004 dee, I'm so sorry to hear this and stumbled so late into this. I can't imagine being without my own mother. The thought of it terrifies me. How are you holding up, love?

I'M CRYING! It's finished. I've posted the rest of the story. I hope so badly that you guys enjoy it. There should be a final chapter and an epilogue. Please let me know if you have issues with not seeing either. I feel like my computer is doing one thing and my phone is doing another. I love you guys so much and want to thank you for your continued support and patience through all of this! I hope to hear from you soon! 
          
          I have some other ideas in mind and I can't wait to get started on them! But I'm going to soak in the glory of finally finishing this story first! 
          
          If you care at all... You can find me on other social media platforms @deesmith004 
          
          Again, I love you all and thank you thank you THANK YOU!

A NEW CHAPTER IS UP!!! 
          I've got a few written up that just need to be edited too, so make sure to read, vote and comment so I know what you think of this story! I can't wait to hear from you guys! And in case you didn't know, I had a baby last January, a little boy and soon after found out I was pregnant again with a little girl. I just had her on New Years Day! I've been one busy mama, but this story is finished! I just have to edit and I CANNOT wait to share it with you! I've missed you all!

New chapter coming your way here in the next hour or so! Be on the look out. ALSO, excuse my absence! Being a new mom... YES YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT! Is definitely time consuming! 
          
          I just want to thank everyone for being patient with me! Going through IVF and then having a very nauseas pregnancy to now having a newborn has been quite the roller coaster, but I am SO thankful to those of you who have stuck with me and continue to show your support. I love you all more than I can say with words! 
          
          If you're new here, you can tune into my short story "I thought you'd be here by now" to learn a little bit about our background and see why this last year has been SO extremely special to us. 
          
          I promise to dedicate what spare time I have to finishing this story. It's at the peak of some good stuff and I really, REALLY think you'll enjoy it! Again, thank you to those of you who stuck around and continue to show support. Know that I love you SO much! 
          
          Xx.

@Thin-Tin-Missy oh, I totally get it! And then you blink and suddenly you're five years older. What a wild thing this life is! Definitely enjoy it while you can cause it can pass you by and quickly! I was really only checking in on wattpad to see how my people were doing as well because updating was so hard to do when life was as busy as it was but now that I have updated, it has rejuvenated me to a whole new level! All I want to do now is write! 
            
            So things in school are going well then?

@deesmith004 I love you too! <3 And you're welcome! ;D
            
            Hah, yeah, there's been quite a bit that's been going on with me. I just recently joined my youth group teen leadership team, been meeting with my friends more, just recently developed a squad that I've been hanging out with after youth group, been trying to deal with schoolwork, been trying to lose weight, and trying to juggle growing up all at the same time. I only pop in on Wattpad to see how my friends are doing or to check on the updates stories now. Lol, can i stay this age forever? I'm fine with not growing up so fast. XD
            
            *thinks back to when I was 11, saying, "I wish I was older."*
            
            TAKE IT BACK, LITTLE ME- TAKE IT BACK! <--- my thoughts for the past 2 or 3 years now.
