Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on November 24
• Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 500, Bronze: 250, Honorable mention: 5 people
• Final notes:
  I do apoligise for not being able to comment on all the entries. This is not like me at all but I have been dealing with health issues and other personal problems. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful entries. I have to say it was tough to judge. The gold winner was the one that brought me to tears and touched me deeply. This doesn't mean that the others were not great, just my personal preference. To all who celebrate a very happy thanksgiving and merry Christmas! Thank you and sorry I took so long.

Contest Winners

   If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep
   I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
