Three Months Clean and Sober (Senryu)

Judging Comment:

Despite the lack of detail here, this piece is incredible in a way that few other than Maple can achieve. The imagery is relateable in a wide manner of situations and so many people feel this way towards people they love. This is a write that is sweetly dedicated to a well deserving daughter, but still manages to describe every member of the human race at some point or another. Absolutely one for the win, and if not more than worthy of the hm because everyone needs to hear this at some point in their lives, and somebody is always on the sidelines just searching for the right way to show that they're near by when things get better or worse.

What a wonderful senryu about a mother's obvious pride for a daughter with demons but has come out fighting anyway.

This genuinely moved me.

Andrea, what a beautiful Senryu! You must be so proud of your girl! I'm happy for you too, it's not easy having a loved one with addictions, I know you've been on a long journey with her. Hugs!

Love, love, love. Through every stumble and fall, those wings will life her up. She will make it through <3

Andrea, such a sad yet fantastic written piece.
