via I knew my invisibility- Candice Louisa Daquin — Whisper and the Roar
I love this. I read this on Eric’s blog and fell in love with it. I have always loved the way you write, Candice. Bravo, girl.
Oh Candice, this is really gripping. I’ve been watching Eric repost these and wondered what was going on. I’ll have to check out the rest. The theme is excellent: a series of life awakening moments. Your words always speak to me and I read them all even if I don’t always comment. Much love!

What a heart wrenching story! So glad you found a hand to life you up to find affirmation and love in the place you should have been all along. Great poem.

You have a talent for evoking strong emotion with your writing, a talent all great writers share. This one made me cry. ღ
Meant, at ‘Whisper & The Roar’ oops.
You inspire me brother. I love you. I’ll write you tonight.
Ditto ღ
I’m catching up reading on more of your thought-provoking, brilliant and beautiful poetry. I love this piece, you’ve written this with emotion. Deb
Oh my dear friend it is so good to see you again. I am sending you love.
PS I really hope you are ok my friend
I know, it’s been a long time, but I’m back to my writing, which I’ve missed.
Last year was not my best year, health wise. Migraines that continue, heart attack and rectal cancer. It’s been tough, but I’m a strong soul, or so everyone says. 🙂
You are. I am so very, very sorry to hear that about cancer. I know you are a warrior, you fight and you inspire others to fight. You always did me. I admire and respect you as well as care about you my friend. I am glad to see you here. So much.
I’m so very, very glad you are writing again. I had missed your writing so much. And you.
Thanks for your sweet words, I’m glad I’m back also.
Sending you lots of love
