the text needs some editing/proofreading inasmuch as there are incomplete sentences...

You are right Jack. I thought I had submitted it for Grammarly editing as well as some text corrections making things clearer, but I must be wrong. Sorry! I think that by the time I went back it was already beyond the deadline for submission.

I really liked reading the other two submissions, heartbreaking and inspiring as well. I am sorry that it stopped there, except for the fact that it seems to give Ted more time for the number of tasks and interests he is pursuing.

It took me forever and a day to decide to submit this type of writing. I don't regret I did.

I have been writing since the age of eight--I will be 78 in a few days-- the first 20 years in a different language and this is only the third timeI had the nerve to submit anything--except for an M.A. thesis in Geography obviously edited properly.

Thanks for your comments!
