July’s Perfect Post

Published by Brillig at 5:32 pm under Awards

Sometimes it’s hard for me to narrow down a Perfect Post from a whole month’s worth of wonderful posts.

But this month, it was a piece of cake. While there were many great posts, one stood out as the absolute perfect post.

This post made me cry every single time I read and re-read it. (And folks, I’m NOT a crier. This was a huge exception for me.) I cried over the horror of the story, over the strength it takes to write such a thing (and to write it SO WELL), and most especially over the author herself–because, despite everything they told her that she was, she chose who she was really going to be. And she’s amazing.

So this months award goes to Emma Sometimes for this post. Here’s some blog-bling for you, ES.

Now, everyone else, PLEASE go read this one. It is well worth your time.

You picked a seriously fantastic post. So very scary. So very intense. And so very sad.

Great pick, Brill!

Much respect to Emma Sometimes for publishing such a powerful piece.

Thank you, Brillig!

You have no idea how my parenting has been bettered by experiences from my childhood…and maybe perhaps, why I love to laugh so darn much.

Thank you for the award and your kind words. I’ll have my blog bling up shortly.

Wow I read it and I am sitting here crying. Doesn’t sound like her “friend” was much of a friend at all…surely would be NO friend of mine.

That was quite something. What power. And what control over the words to describe such an uncontrolled event.

That was so beautifully-written and painful and brave to tell. Fantastic choice!

I feel like a pale echo of the other commenters.

Wow.

My goodness that scared me to death! Ok, almost to death. I need a cold cloth for my forhead now.

Holy crap, girl! You sure got that award right! Simply awesome.

That was a scary one, but I’m proud of her. Good pick.

You are absolutely correct. That was brilliant.
# Annetteon 02 Aug 2007 at 12:19 pm

Not coming up with anything original to say. I can only repeat what everyone else has said–wow, how sad, and man, that was powerful.
