All Comments on 'Shattered Diamonds'

I always enjoy your words and the voices you give you characters. This story is on the “real and raw” end of the spectrum for me. You warned it would turn but I was still surprised. Saddened too by the “real”. An important topic treated with care and respect. And in the end, love.

A totally beautiful story almost heart wrenching I can understand leaving where it’s at. Love the way you tell the story perfect words.

Just wanted to write a short note of appreciation for the comments. I'm gratified that you embraced the message of this short story. As I said upfront, this story sort of came to me unexpected and I felt it needed to be told. I hope more people will read this in the years to come and will also take a moment to reflect on the lives torn apart by the denial of the diversity of human sexuality. LGBTQ rights have come a long way, but there's still minds and hearts that need to be changed. ~ yukonnights

That made me cry, in both sad and happy ways. In such a short story you managed to cram everything a novel would give. You handled the material with kindness and sensitivity, and even though a work of fiction it filled even this old world weary woman with hope. Thanks for cracking read Ddraigfach x
