Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Stranger Than Wal-Mart: Images and Moments
I read this moment by Liz Sorensen. It was her last one where she talks about finally being homesick and crying when she hung up the phone with her mom because she realized how much she loves her parents.

When I read this post, it made me respect Liz. She wasn't afraid to admit to all of us that she loves her parents and things the world of them. It really touched me reading it because I lost my mother about two years ago and she was one of the best people I knew, and my best friend. I loved, appreciated, and respected my mother more than anyone in this world and when Liz talked about having the best parents in the world it made me smile. Some people could care less about their parents and even claim to "hate" them, but I loved my mom more than anything and I always made sure she knew it. So when I read Liz's moment, I really felt it deep down.

When I write poems or stories or anything, I write from personal experiences or feelings mostly. I try to convey all of my emotions, happy or sad, onto paper. So when I write things down, I really want people to feel my feelings in their hearts. If I'm writing about something sad and heartbreaking, I want my readers to really feel it, and likewise with something really happy and heartfelt, I want them to get the feeling inside and have a smile on their faces.
