Hi Bethy
I reviewed this story first time around, and i'll do it again, it's worth it!
I really enjoyed this story, tho I *knew* something bad was going to happen, it was just the way the opening paragraph hit me! Sandi's thoughts rang true and the interaction between the two of them was great. And when I was rereading it (thus knowing what was going to happen) I almsot started crying when Sandi gave Julia the pearls; they were the last thing she got from her husband and its unliky she'll get them back. (Have tears in my eyes writing this. :sniff:)
The last (or second to last) paragraph seemed to be especially meaningful, appropriate even if it hadn't been September 11th.
