Editor's Choice Believe me, an enormous amount of effort has gone into Pam's submission. And by the way, it's also a deep, thoughtful story. It took me a moment to work out what was going on – Editor. And so I sit and wait. For what? There's never any promising news. I, along with the others, wear a lonely countenance. We try our best to offer each other an optimistic smile along with an encouraging nod, but we know it's a facade. So many of us are contemptuous of our circumstances but yet we still come and wait. There are some new faces which still bear the signs of hope. We wish them luck. But mostly we sit and wait as time goes by until time abandons us forever.

Far too many people face this sad situation. Well illustrated, and an excellent editor's choice. Well done, Pamela.

Well done, Pamela. I'm currently writing a bunch of articles on climate change and find I have to put something positive / hopeful in each one, for everyone's sanity .

Moving, poignant,,, for the control of a 100 words alone there is hope. I share Tom B's sentiment.
