Nancy
I sent you away
My plea
Polite
Desperate
Heartless
Forgive me
Know
I suffered
For my
Arrogance
My
Fear
And I did fear
Everything
Catherine
Having you
Losing you
Wanting
More
Than was my right
Fear
Savages
The heart
I
Became
Fear
Sent away
You
Seemed
To go
Yet
Where I sat
Or
Paced
Or
Fled to hide
You
Were
There
Fierce
In my blood
Laboring
In my breath
Courageous
Fighting for me
Loving me
Believing
In
Me
Before you
So much
So much lay
Beyond
Where
I could go
Beyond
What
I should hope
Dream
Dare to want
Lessons in
Not
Wanting
Hard
Lessons
Learned
A life ago
I sent you away
You struggled
You went
And always
You
Returned
Without complaint
Without question
Grateful
Grateful
Past my doubts
Through my old truths
Fears
You order the turmoil
Beloved
Claim the quiet place
Your place
My
Heart
I
Was
Fear
You never gave up
for H
Never Giving Up

Wow, Nancy. Climb right into Vincent's brain, why don't you? :-) This is wonderful . It captures him (and them) so perfectly.
Great job, again and still :)
-Krista
Thank you!! Krista, you made me laugh and I'm still shaking my head and grinning...talk about making someone's day!!! Thank you! For all the times you've been so generous with praise...for your wonderful stories...for that smiling face in the photos from the con...for friendship that is special to me...thank you! Nancy
I saw Vincent several times sending Catherine away. Could see him sitting, fleeing, hiding, "feeling" Catherine.
Catherine accepting him, loving him, always returning without complaint, without question.
You brought them to life right here, Nancy!
the imagery your words brought forth for me..such a gift you have Nancy!
I'll carry this with me this weekend..perhaps locked away writing so much more!! : )
Brit
Oh, Nancy. You're quite welcome. :-) You truly have a gift to reveal so much in so few words. I am so happy and blessed to know you :)
-Krista
So many times she returned. He had to know in his heart that she was never going to give up.
R1, I think you're right. He knew yet he seemed... compelled...to keep trying to 'free' her...for her sake, of course. :) I said she returned and didn't complain...I wonder, though, if just once she might have come back with 'grievances' to discuss.
Thank you very much for reading my efforts! Nancy
Thank you, Brit, for the kind words. I hope you did get some writing done this weekend. You have fans waiting for Vincent and Catherine to find their baby!
Love, Nancy
Krista, do you ever wonder if Ron and Linda and the rest have some idea of the living treasure they left with us ... a gift that keeps growing ... in friendships and cons and WFs ... inspiration-to-be-better people ... in creativity that might never have known expression were it not for them? I wish they could. I'd feel as though we were thanking them. I will thank you for all your kindnesses to me!!! Nancy
Hey Nancy,
Honestly, I don't think they really know . I know some of the people at the last con tried to give Linda an idea of just what an impact that one character had had in their lives, but I'm not sure she totally got it. Which I understand, since it must be a hard thing to believe (or truly understand) from the outside looking in.
But yeah, there is a small part of me that likes to think they do. I certainly hope so; this community is one of the most giving groups I've ever known, in ways that continue to boggle my mind. :)
And thank you as well, Nancy. :)
-Krista
You're right, Krista. Being on the other side of the camera probably precludes the fantasy that we've come to cherish. I read of a woman who won a contest and got to be on the set and meet everyone and watch a taping. I'm grateful not to have her memories! :) Perhaps the best 'gratitude' we can offer is to nourish the spirit of generosity and loving and share it?! Nancy
You express so deep feelings with so short words -it´s amazing!I love to read it again and again! Petra (from Austria)
Petra, hello! May I thank you most sincerely for your very generous praise? You gave me such a sweet start to my day. You do know that the deep feelings you mention are within you... I'm happy my poor effort can help you experience them.
Nancy (from New York - so far from Austria! Isn't it wonderful that Vincent and Catherine can bridge the distance for us!)
Wow! Nancy, I'm catching up on reading and I should move on to the next, but I can't - want to sit here with this one for a bit. This is so powerful and so ... [sigh] You amaze me and inspire me.
- Sandy
You are even more generous than Carole's endless praise of you can say!! Thank you, Sandy. December in NYC, right? :) Nancy
Oh...this is so wonderfully Vincent!
Just beautiful Nancy! Totally entranced by it...
*Happy sigh*
