I just finished reading "Rosie". The poem at the end of the story
touched my heart. I lost my mom in January. She'd been ill, but her
death was sudden. Years ago, I was looking through her Bible and
found the very same poem as Rosie's. When I asked mom about the poem,
she said she wanted it read at her funeral some day. I read that poem
at her funeral in January. Reading it again in a work of fiction was
like hearing from Mom again. Thank you, Mr. Titchmarsh.
Sincerely,
Donna Wheeler
