It’s a gorgeous moment and one of the more real and endearing additions to the conglomerate house.

It needs some cleaning up, just minor grammar things that serve as distractions. For instance, ‘AM stations’ needs a verb change to agree with it as a plural, and the first sentence in the second paragraph is a run on that needs breaking up or a comma somewhere else. And I think the semicolon in the third paragraph should be a colon or dash, but I’m not entirely sure on that one.

Overall it’s a really heartwarming installment, just with some slip-ups that rob it of its power. Lots of potential here.

This reminds me of canning pears with my grandmother. Sweet!

@THX, thanks for the critique, changes made. I still need to learn to save as a draft and return to it later. But when I write, it’s fast and furious, I’m in fear of losing the thread of distant memories.

In Time.

I can’t figure out how to break this up:

glass jars -jars full

glass jars; jars full

What say you?

You could go a couple different ways.

Minimalist—just remove the second jars, so, “….glass jars full of…” or, “…glass jars, all full of…”

Erudite—come up with some metaphoric word to replace the second jars, like, “…glass jars, sweet sepulcres full of…”

Poetic—Use some repetition to convey a state of mind, marveling at the number, “glass jars, jars, so many jars full of…”

There are probably more ways, but I think my main point is that punctuation won’t save you here. Saying jars two times in a row just rolls off the mental tongue kind of funny.

@THX, thank you so much, I became so invested in trying to figure out a solution, I never considered word modification.
