I love the words to your poem, it touched my heart and soul.
I love the doll picture you choose to go with it , they are a perfect match.
I sense your the closeness you have with her, for I had it with my favorite doll too. I love the line.
Thank you for sharing

What a wonderful story. My sister had a doll like that which she wanted to pass on to a daughter. Unfortunately, she passed away before she was able to have one. I commend you for carrying on the tradition. God bless you.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Maybe you can pass that doll to someone very special.

Nice nostalgic story. I do wonder what stories she would tell, and how many secrets were revealed to hear unhearing ears. Not to worry, she's also mute. I hope your granddaughters learn to love her, too.

    Why do I always find typos in my reviews after I post them?😁 I suppose it's not worth the time to edit it. Hear s/b her.

    Don't feel bad. I do, too, and often in my writing.

    It's almost impossible to be your own proofreader with absolute success. And this iPad is deranged!

    Thank you. I, too, have other things that are worth nothing except to me. I'm hoping grandchildren will come to love them, too.

This is such a charming write! How wonderful that Edna has survived and she must be worth quite a penny now, but she is treasured by you and I hope she can be passed on to the next generation for safe keeping, a sweet story and a pleasure to read, love Dolly x

What a wonderful true story, Yvonne. Edna sounds like she has had a fascinating life, starting with your mother working so hard to pay for her a quarter at a time.

Your writing is clear, the story is filled with descriptive imagery and what an uplifting story.

I wish you great luck with the contest committee. :)
