What I liked best were the last two lines because I love the innocence of the child. As adults we look at a rainbow and sort of know how it's formed and why we see it, but to to a child, it's angels!

I was trying to figure out the name 'Noel' and getting it figured out who was who in the family, and wondered if a baby actually died there. But, still good imagery and vivid description. I know sometimes it can be hard to get a powerful story packed in a mere 100 words, but sure is good practice, huh? It is for me anyway, who leans the other way with too much sometimes. lol It has been fun, though and reading good stories and poems from others.JeMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522685678143115505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1987640389303631676.post-26213134784519605592012-05-18T18:05:11.943-07:002012-05-18T18:05:11.943-07:00Hi Rochelle: The comments were as enjoyable as yo...Hi Rochelle: The comments were as enjoyable as your sweet "up-lifting" story..ending in joy with rainbow/angels.
