Welcome to Saturday Centus, Week 66, Mrs. Jenny Matlock's writing challenge, where participants are asked to write a PG-rated text to a given written prompt, in any style or genre of writing, with a picture illustration (allowed this week), and using only up to 50 words, not counting the 4 words in the prompt. This is week 66 and the prompt is: You are my sunshine...
------
My text follows here:
John Tell returned to Florida, leaving Sanna without saying that he liked her. Sanna was hurt, and wondered if there was someone for her out there in the world for whom she could sing, 'You are my sunshine...'
At least, she had the children; her pride and joy. They were truly her sunshine.

Word count according to WordCalc: 50

Best wishes,
Anna

Sad but I can related to the feelings she has...everyone wants to shine for somebody!
Awwwww...
glad the children bring sunshine..:)
Aw, guess we can't have it all:@)
Very well said and, oh, so poignant, Anna. This little centus is filled with love in the face of loss. I like it a lot!
Namaste.........cj
Excellent Anna !
This is one mature and realistic lady...cutting her heartbreak short and then focusing on her many blessings...a great example of moving on with her life !
poor Sanna. Mr Right will come along when she least expects him too! Great use of the prompt!~Ames
I agree with Ames! Great use of the prompt, too!
Sad, but lovely! It shows loss and the rebound of strength! Well done!
Children do have a way of bringing sunhine into our days
You did it once again. You made me think of my dad with your post. You are my sunshine was a song that my dad taught me when I was a child. He even taught me how to play it on the guitar :)
I'm so glad Sanna has the kids. I appreciate how you keep this piece moving with a lot of feeling every step of the way.
Be well, Anna.

Anna, this was a wonderful bit of the story, I am so glad she has her children to sing the song to!
So sad and sweet at the same time. Thank you.
How true that is!! sometimes our kids are what deliver us sunshine. :)
Hope all is well, Anna!
Have a sunny sunshine-filled Sunday Anna, it is brewing up a storm here and I am waiting for the rain to sooth away my worries, hugs! :)
Everyone has a bit of sunshine if they can only recognize it. Glad she did.
I'm following now.
I like this Sanna of yours!
=)
In answer to your question... the 'you' I am speaking of is our Prime creator, God. :)
Thanks for the lovely comment you left.
It is so good to have children because they will always be the sunshine. I do wonder if John Tell did like her though!!
Anna, your story could be the words of so many people out there who long for someone with which to share their life. To have children goes a long way to filling the void. They will be there for life and the man in your story, John Tell, would be the loser for not being a part of their growth.
I enjoyed reading your story.

nice story, short yet effective... :)
Children sunshine is the best, followed by furbaby sunshine!
Thank you for your story, and for visiting my blog today.
More scritches for Sara
I think Sanna will have that one day. She is too sweet and lovely not to.
Oh, and in answer your query re: the giveaway. Absolutely! Totally! And... no problem.
