This is really beautiful Colin!! Uhm I'm someone who has legit arachnophobia,

I have fear with legit good reasons, when i was a kid my tormenter of a step father would put live spiders down my shirt and my pants and laugh as i ripped OF ALL my clothing in terror!!

Im saying this with all honesty and admiration for your skills and talent as a writer....The way you wrote about the spider you got me to say awwwww how cute!!

Even that picture you placed inside the article made me stop and gooo awwwww cuuuuuute wittle spider!!!

You are a LITERARY Genius 💓 such am awesome read!!

Ah, thanks so much for your kind words Tara 🙏🏼 😊

Sorry you were tormented 😫 The spiders must have been terrified too! 🙃

But I’m so glad you loved the story. It actually took me ages trying to get the right cute spider 🕷️ pic. 🤣

Thanks again Tara, appreciate you 😊

Lovely comment on gratitude 🙌. I’m happy with spiders these days but the big ones I do put outdoors.

Every time she escapes the cat or dog from putting their giant paw on top of her.⬅️ Is that Rose avoiding the 3 dogs in the house? Lol 🤣
