Simply great. You are a special writer.

Damm, I hate when I get suckered into a romantic outcome.

Great story though, real roller coaster.

But LAWYERS??? You'll be doing more politician/scumbags next.

agree with Tajfa completely. and no nitpicking from me.

Ive read it 3 times now and im crying again! Do you understand now messed up that is to a 60 year old rough and tumble oilfield working man? I was stupid when i caught my wife, got violent in front of the state police, lost everything but it was worth it. The piece of shit she cheated with had to have airbags put in so he could have an erection and yes, that makes me smile. Take of each other and be good neighbors.

I was waiting for the hot, moist action to begin, but got so caught up, I didn't mind when I reached the end. Very well written, I like the man's point of view, honest, heartfelt and moving. All in all, well done! Pls keep contributing.

Great!

Incredable story, very well told, moves well and fast, detailed but not to the point of able to bore you. A true pleasure to read and experience, some typos but life goes on. It wouldnt let me give it a 6, so i settled on a 5. Smooth story line, fresh ideas. thank you

Turn it up

The best LW stories are not revenge stories (or, god forbid, cuck stories) -- but love stories. This is a good love story.

Perhaps my favourite of yours, probably not, who cares! Outstanding story, thanks!

To those Anon who bitch, have the balls to put your name to it, just saying!

Brilliant

Now that was a loving wives story. Thank you.

Fantastic. Thanks

If you want to get involved in a story this is a great setting. Sounded so real to life that I thought I was down home reminiscing with family about some dear old friends. The only thing missing was having a biscuits and gravy breakfast with a side order of hot grits. RayR

Over a lot of times it just is a wonderful story. Thanks for writing.

Thanks for writing! Great story, second or third time around. Just one little thing of course I could be wrong cause I'm just an old man, but O think you reffered to Billy a couple of times as 'her'? Still a great story though.

Second reading a d still a 5☆

Damn, you really killed off Uncle Ben. That's cold, man.

Seriously though, great story.

Loved it. Great story.

That last paragraph just crushed me, and Ben dying, damn youre going to kill me. fantastic story, 5 stars all day.

Second time reading and still a truly great story by a truly great author. Five stars of course. LP

As a guy that can only tech manuals with a secretary's help I resent the heck out of you and your word skills, damn it! Love the story more every time I read it. Thanks for the writing you do and if you ever try to read the factory manual for a radar set - think of me!

Ben's picture over the fireplace. Aren't his ashes spread all around the farm enough. Morbid. Qhml1 needs someone to write the new endings. First 95% = 5*. Last 5% = 2*

Great storey, I love happy endings and thought Bens picture over the fireplace was a nice touch.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You are really quite a jerk, making a grown man cry like this. great story, easy to keep track of players, typos abound, but no more nit picking. Good job

Sometimes happy endings make you cry

Again after a year I give this a 5 star vote.

Where is the explaining to Angie about Sophie????

5 stars - I like this story

These are the stories I love. Thank you.

5*

Great story. There are many little writing errors scattered throughout the piece. It would help to have a fresh pair of eyes to proofread something before publication in the future.

Pretty good. Sherrie was a little too cookie cutter as the cheating spouse. Some better character development with her would have helped, but all in all nicely done.

Tears were shed.

Wonderful story; well done. The only problem, is that it got a little misty around here when I was reading the ending. I'm a lover of the English language. At times, I get distressed over the misspelled words, grammatical errors and improper use of to, too and two. However, whenever I finish one of QHML1's stories, I feel so satisfied with its content, that I forget all the errors and feel like I just completed a Prime Rib dinner at a five star restaurant. 5*

Second read as good as the first.

Hooked

What a wonderful story of hope. A few typos and such, no big deal. Yes, damnit I lost tears over this story.

Enjoyed reading it the second time as much if not more than the first time.

Wow. What a great story. And a tear jerker. I gave it a 5. No other score, would be possible. Thank you.

big bully making us cry all the dam time well done

Well done. A real tear jerker

Loved it! Thanks.

Very Romantique und Zweet!

11/10!!!!!

Incredibly moving after several reads, thanks Q. As usual your stories are so well put together, that nothing seems a miss, characters all have substance and the story just follows at an effortless pace. The general level of emotion has one captured throughout. Highest accolades to an author that can bloody well put the package together with such aplomb...!

I prefer somewhat more romantic tension, even though the story was 'nice' but perhaps too predictable!

A nice story but, very predictable from the outset and the ending contained a lot of cliches. However, it still was a very warm, loving, wholesome and enjoyable story. 5/5

Always loved this story, maybe because it seems so real, or maybe the right way life should go, that finally does. I read this years ago and it still has the same effect. Beautiful story, well done. Thank you.

So all country boys have fucking terrible taste in women and the more useless they are the more slutty they are the more they like them?! Because almost every country themed story I read goes exactly the same fucking way?!

No Wonder the South Hates the Yankees!

One of the best love stories I ever read, in spite of some cliches and some predictability. Congrats and Thx.

Please have a GOOD editor go over your stories.

Agree with all the positive comments, consider the negative ones irrelevant.

Kudos. Keep on truckin'.

Another outstanding offer from this author. I realize this is probably an older story and you may have made accomodations for a proofreader, BUT, I am hereby offering to proofread anything you write from this day forward.

Revisit and we’ll worth the time. Great story well told

2nd or 3rd reading and still good, tears and emotions and another wife gets hit with the Martian Slut Ray, seems to be a lot of that going around these past years.

A heartwarming, well written story with good sex appropriately developed and placed. Logical, easy to follow and solid real life pathway. And, best of all, NONE of the much abused L.E cliches!!

WELL DONE 😊👏👊

Man, I love the way you write. Thanks for another warm wonderful story.

Just plain excellent.

Well written, terribly telegraphed, anybody who didnt see Ben biting the big one very early in the story was either drunk when they read or a victim of a good round of friendly fire after beer night.

And Im totally shocked the MC didnt have his own Bat Signal in town.

You write better than most, but your story telling skills still come up short.

Again. This is just one fine story

Good!

I loved it. Even if it brought tears to my eyes a couple of times. Finally a good real Loving wives story. It was very well written, although there were a few typos, I could get past without too much trouble. Thank You for sharing it with us. Especially those of us who are tired of reading the standard formatted Cheating Wives/Cuckold stories that have seemed to take over this forum. I've read a few of your stories on here, and quite a few more to go yet. Between you and the Tramp, I always know I'll get a good read in when I pick one of your stories. Thank You again for a great story.

Outstanding.

One of the best I have Read!!!

I do love this story, love that they don't forget Ben, always pains me in these types of story, when a lost partner seems to forgotten.

Great story. Just finished rereading it.

A minor criticism - at the wedding reception Sophie told Angie that she was lucky and Will comments that he's got some explaining to do. Doesn't make sense - Angie was there when Will and Sophie met and arranged things so they could get together including a weekend away. So what's to explain?

Such good writing. But there were 2 huge plot holes that detracted:

.

#1 — the disappearance of Sophie. No explanation at all. She was just gone. And this after she and Will had OBVIOUSLY hit it off big time.

.

#2 — the letter from Ben to Will. Absolute nonsense. Ben died suddenly of an unknown heart defect. There is no possibility he had an inkling of a pending demise. No way he would write Will that letter. It was a letter a dying man might write near his death…not something a healthy man would write out of the blue.

.

As well….not enough retribution on Sherry…could have at least had their son Billy read her the riot act at some point.

.

So just 4 ****

Anonymous below: "[Sophie] had just gone through a bad divorce, lined up a really good job on the other coast, and was taking three months off to collect herself." That's why she's gone. She never meant to stay.

The letter I also found strange. But I never made a will, so what do I know. Maybe rich people use to write those letters and update them every other year, who knows.

Slow start, I am not really interested in what happened before the marriage, unless it impacts on the story. I jumped that and loved the rest, well worth 5* for the wonderful ending.

please write more! very few authors still active on Lit who can tell a story like you. :)

As always, thanks for writing. Beautiful story that can run the gamut of emotions, it certainly did mine!

Five stars without any pause or hope for something different in your story.

Thanks for sharing a great story of life with us. made me smile and shed a tear but very true to life. thanks again

"You need a new radiator hose, ma'am. Call AAA when Wendel takes you home, and they'll come and get it. It's easy to fix,"

Let's see: Radiator hose burst and lost all coolant. Engine ran too hot and finally seized up. Need new engine, not just a new radiator hose!

Beautiful story. Just what I needed.

heck of a ride

Really enjoyed reading this story, until the ending. It's kind of hard to read with wet eyes. Sorry that Ben had to go so Will and Angie to get together, but that's how it goes. Even with the few typos and errors, it's a five star story, thanks.

Very enjoyable read, and a great story. Please keep up the GREAT work!!!

Enjoyed reading this story. Never a fan on writing comments but I just had to for this one. A good story you have here. Really enjoy it.

I love to stop and revisit this story. I have honestly lost track of the readings thank you

(2/21/2023) Excellent! Brilliant! Thank you.

This story only gets better with time.

If you wanna know more about the catering and equipment rental businesses, this is your read.

Third time I read this…still excellent

that isn't the south as it is today, too many damn yankees and democraps have relocated and both tribes tho almost synonymous had ruined the southern culture and charm w/ their arrogance, selfish individuality, and irresponsibility. Good series and really empathized w/ the feelings b/w the hatfields and will. rk

This was a great story. My 1st read of it but it was certainly enjoyable. You've done a great job all the time I've registered this was just 1 of the most outstanding ones you've ever done.

Looking at the comments, it seems like I read & comment every year or so. I remember some but at my age I forget a lot too. Another 5 star rating from me.

Bill S.

You are 1 of the best writers on this site! You flesh out the characters and their back stories, so well, you think you know them! This is about the third or fourth time I've read this story and is still a great read!!!! 5*

I love your stories. You write so well but I have a complaint. Your arc of life makes the end of the stories so sad they leave me all choked up.

Always excellent. Thanks.

Gran trabajo, como siempre

Amazing story! Held my attention throughout!

I loved it. I gave it 5 stars. It even made my eyes leak several times. You've got a real knack for fleshing out your characters and making them real. The scene you describe about Will's house and Angie's farm reminds me of a road in Oklahoma that I used to drive on to see my folks. The house/farm at the top of the hill, and several homes on the next street at the bottom of the hill. Unfortunately there was no large hill in the way for cell service on the parallel road. But yes, the rest of the story could have been written about that area. Thanks for taking me back 35+ years, as my wife and I raised 2 kids in that area...Good times. Thank You for sharing it with us.

Thanks yet again for an enjoyable tale. Another 5 stars to you.

Wonderful! Just wonderful! Immensely enjoyable read. 5 Stars is the minimum i can give.

I have a long list of favorites, but really I know there are a lot of good stories there, and just a few that are real winners. This is, without a doubt, one of the very, very best. I don't know how many times I've read it, but when I'm feeling down, this story of good friends and deeply felt values is a sure fire remedy. All I can say is, "Thank you!"

Simply outstanding in every way.

5 stars

Can I give you 10 stars?

Second or third reading and I still get tears. Friends and family, precious commodities a lot of people don't appreciate. 29 stars!

Life really sucks at times, Hardship follow us no matter where we go. I have stage 4 cancer now, and will be doing chemo again this next week.July 25 -26-27th. The one thing I have in my corner is having learned that the mistakes you make don't have to define you. Life is always changing, we grow and hopefully learn from the bad choices we've made before. We can't make the ones we love be good, yet we don't have to give into there demands to change our beliefs, Just to make them feel good about them selves, not our job!

Gut wrenching, uplifting, joyous, sobering. I cried, on fact I'm crying as I write this. You have a magical touch with real emotions and real life. Even if this is based on a real life set of events, your touch knocks it out of the park.

Top notch

Who is Rhonda? Don’t mix the names of your characters. Pleasant story though.
