Wow.

Not sure how one can be so drawn into a set of characters, and get so emotionally effected, within so few pages. That's a testament to some great writing.
Oh but why did you have to leave me feeling like this......

This story comprised of a daughter and her father writing letters back and forth. It glimpses the girl growing up into a teenage girl. The writing style was pretty interesting and the story was even more so. I do wish there had been a bit more context and story to the story, but it was very heartfelt and beautiful. I loved the underlying message in the story as well. Fully recommend.

A bittersweet story told through a young girl's correspondence with her absent father. Well told, these letters will make you smile and tug at your heart, only to give you a gut punch ending you won't see coming.
A heart-rending but rewarding read.

Bridge Gate by J.T. Lawrence was a good quick read. A daughter who wants a relationship with her father connects to him through letters. I really enjoyed reading this short story.

This short story was affecting and poignant. While it might easily be expanded to something longer, this tidbit packed a real punch and the ending changed how preceding events were perceived.

A quick read while I waited for someone. I quite enjoy these titbit letters to and fro by Janita. Wonderful.

Sweet story, although the denouement is perhaps predictable.
