Comments on: Five Minutes http://www.sundaysalon.com/five-minutes.htm A Prose Reading Series and Magazine Sun, 18 Dec 2011 22:40:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kent http://www.sundaysalon.com/five-minutes.htm/comment-page-1#comment-5816 Kent Sat, 01 Jan 2011 13:09:33 +0000 http://www.sundaysalon.com/five-minutes.htm#comment-5816 Beyond the fact that I am very pleased you and your wife survived, when many did not, what I find best in your writing is the personal moments. The moments that I "can see happening" when I read your account. The moments and conversations you are having with your wife. These are the best parts of your piece because as I get older I more and more realize that moments we spend with our loved ones are the best ones. The way you described how terrifying the experience was, really provided for me a connection to you and your wife and it was as though I was there with you, in some way. And not half a world away celebrating my 46th birthday on December 26th and watching the whole situation unfold on CNN. So, again, I am pleased that you were able to survive to tell your story. Thank you for sharing it hear with the world. Beyond the fact that I am very pleased you and your wife survived, when many did not, what I find best in your writing is the personal moments.
