Summary:Thanks to everyone for your very helpful reviews. I revised the story accoringly.
Feedback needed: Did I break the dialogue into too many paragraphs? I also combined a couple of sentences. Did that leave me with too many "series" sentences? ie. "She would want to know my new salary, if Mrs.Whipple would still be my secretary, the color scheme of my office, and most importantly, what Mr. Wyatt and his secretary were wearing."
Lastly, I'm interested in nits. Your honesty would be greatly appreciated.

Summary:My father suffers from Lewy Body Disease. Most people have never heard of it but it is similar to Alzheimers. Up until recently it had affected him physically rather than mentally. He decided about a month ago that he wants to die. He has gone downhill quickly since then. I went in to see him before going to Europe. He refuses food a lot of days but that day he asked me to feed him lunch. It was sweet and painful at the same time.
I changed a couple more things. Just small ones. I had to put this away for a while and then come back to it. Chapters: |

(I submitted this last year, and thanks to those of you who offered comments for improvement. I am sending this in to a magazine for a Father's Day anthology and would like to know if there are any more suggestions from anyone as to how it could be improved. Your thoughts are always greatly appreciated.)Chapters: |

Summary:I originally wrote this as a song back in 2004. It is registered with BMI, my Performance Rights Organization, thus I have to include the original copyright information. I have slightly reformatted the verses/stanzas to fit a more traditional format for poetry.
I originally wrote it for my recently deceased mother-in-law. But, as I post it here as a poem, I have Michelle (mishmont) and Dave in my heart.
Any comments about the message of the poem are more than welcome. Since this has already been published as a song, technical and structural nits won't be necessary. Thank you very much in advance.Chapters: |

Summary:Tikkun Olam, repairing the world, is a Jewish imperative. Most of us can contribute to healing the world only in our personal lives. This is hugely important. This is one of those stories, helping my husband with Alzheimer's disease, observed by othersChapters: |
