Well you kept it going just the same paced story from start to finish, not bad but not really special.
Absolutely loved it, although part way through I did remember a line from Cool Hand Luke, “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.”
Ultimately cheerful, definitely emotionally written, I felt it. Doubtless some will consider it too sweet, not me.
Very nice story, rescue the damsel in distress then marry her. Instant family with two kids.
lovely story I felt a bit of the same reaction about the rings as annonmous did a year ago even though you might haved loved her as much solid no no other than that great story needed tissues on this one for sure solid five Thank you
The only dead women's rings that should be given to a spouse are mothers or older. It's tacky as fuck to give your dead wife's jewelry to your new wife.
Sometimes you have to wonder if the writers are men or women, or lie about their gender. There is no question here, only a man could write that lol.
Okay you are sweet DG but you don't give your dead wife's rings to a new woman. That is seriously very very wrong.
Life is full of challenges, and karma/ good will is abundant. This story is a wonderful read and restores faith in human kindness during a time where the only news appears to be bad news.
Thank you for a wonderful enjoyable story.
It's just special a story that leaves you feeling so good, if only I could give it 10 stars.
Read this together, with my wife of almost 50 years. She had to stop and dry her eyes a few times. I did too, but you can't tell any one.
I found this to be very refreshing to read as it kept my attention from start to finish.
I needed to read this with all I am experiencing right now.
My loving wife of 16 years is battling cancer and I needed something to make me smile.
Thank you for giving me a deep happy feeling.
Me too brother, getting old at the speed of light. You said it all. Signed: BTW
Thanks for giving us both sides of the story. Anyone with half a heart enjoyed this romantic story. Well written!
Thank you for a wonderful, uplifting tale. I'll remember these lovable characters for a long time.
Why you want to write a story that chokes me up. I'm a grizzled old man. We can't have this getting out and ruining my reputation!
One of the best stories I've read in a while. Deserves 10 stars...
You really nailed it as a "Romantic" story. It had all the ingredients. Love, trust, children, bad folks and a great ending. Well thought out and written. Thank you. BK
I have never read this one. Not sure how I missed it from one of my favorite authors but I am happy to correct the oversight. A five star read. A pleasure to read such a well written story with great characters.
Please keep writing and I will keep reading. Even the ones I have missed!
Top story great read.Oh! Hell it's Fantastic! ★★★★★★★★★★=100 % Love you all! Bye. Greg.
I enjoyed reading your tale although the end was a bit much. Not recommended for those with diabetes.
I do have a problem with your unhealthy obssession with perfection. Like so many others on this site you use the past perfect tense (...if you would have) when the past tense (...if you had) is called for.
I'm sorry.😩
I love you.
🐰Here's a bunny.
I really am trying to be a nicer person. Forgive me?
I actually DID like and enjoy this story. It's always a sign of a good story when, by the time you get to the end, you have completely forgotten the cheating slut at the start, whose name you can't even remember! I can recall ALL the nice characters from this story, but I would have to re read it, to remember the ex wife's name. Good job.
(Maybe I'd be less of an ASS (😉), if I stuck to reading the nice romance stories first, instead of reading all the crappy other stories first!
What do you think, KarenE? I bet you disagree!
Talk about being slow on the uptake!
How many comments on how many stories, have I openly admitted that I tend to be an ass on occasion, and when I do, I take it out on strangers on Literotica, who could seriously care less what I say, instead of those around me. Hell, I'm being an ass right now! If it makes you feel better, I have a small cock too!
Why is it that you are the only one that takes me seriously, or takes what I say personally? Just like the doctor told his patient complaining of a pain when he raised his arm above his head, to simply stop doing it. If my venting on an anonymous website bothers you, (I ain't here for the classical literature!) simply don't read my comments😋 Don't let me get you down, KarenE, someday I might leave a nice comment and someday you might (we can always dream) agree with something I say!
Am I being condescending? Probably. After all, I AM an ass😈
Occasionally, I am confounded and for the life of me, try as I might, I can find no fault. You see, I make my living as an editor and writer; and the world has no more miserable "knit picker" than someone like me. We eds get paid handsomely for being unremitting "A'sH's... But this was a danged good show. Thanks.
Though altogether satisfying. I'd have appreciated their happiness even more if it were earned with some shared tribulation or resolved quarrel or surprising ... well, if it included the semblance of human coping and joining, a touch of spice accommodated, a dissonance made harmonious nevertheless. We marry and appreciate each other for what each bring, both because of and despite unexpected traits.
You can really be such an ass, sometimes!
You shouldn't think of them as his dead wife's rings (not that that would be so bad!), but as Kim's mother's rings, and for Kim to allow Molly to have them was a wonderful getsure.
For a guy to go down on one knee, and propose, and to then slip his DEAD WIFE'S rings onto her finger! What woman doesn't want that!
"If a man wants to know what his wife would look like in twenty years, take a good look at her mother today."
Nope. I would like to think it was true but my mother in law is tall, slim and athletic. My wife is short and fat as a pig. (I love her anyway!) She takes after her fathers side of the family.
That was the best story I ever read on this web site. And believe me, I have read a lot. Awesome!!
Probably the happiest ending I've ever read. Inspiring tale of love and togetherness Thank you.
Well done. Thanks or the offering.
Of course, as I read this story I am struck with a thought regarding all the happy ending stories on this site... What guarantee is there that the same thing won't happen again? The vows are a nice touch, but how do we know its going to be happy ever after?
ThiI thoroughly enjoyed this magnificent happy ending story. This story was very short but extremely powerful and poignant. It covered the trials and tribulations of a really good average man..widowed...divorced.. then Happily Married. The author is beyond great and supremely talented. This story was one of the absolute best I've read. I will come back and read this again and again it's that great.Thank you DG Hear!!
I will never read your stories again. I am a fully grown mature man and I'm not supposed to cry over a silly story. I'm sending you the bill for the Kleenex.
This one had a great realty feel to it - nice work-
Incredible coincidence does happen once in a great while.
Well thought out, designed and executed - thank you
Just absolutely awesome! Nothing more can, or needs to be, said. Despite the rough exterior of this old Marine I'm a hopeless romantic. When I read about someone going through devastating heartbreak and finding something better in return it warms my heart. I had pretty much the same thing as this man happen in my own life. My second wife picked me up and made life worth living. She's even a red head as well!
Thanks for a good tale that shows a good man blessed with a truly loving wife. You are a talented writer and I enjoy your work. Bless you.
First, death benefits are ONLY awarded to the actual wife of record at the time of death. ALL children receive EQUAL consideration and there are NO reductions in different households. In other words his benefits are not "divided" among all the children. Each child will benefit individually and equally.
especcially with happy endings! But then, I have really enjoyed all your stories. I just happen to like Molly and Larry and their family story! Thank you for another great read!
I know how both Larry and Harry feel. My daughter is almost 23 and I lover her as none other. Like Kim in this story, she has been my rock when things were tough going.
The question I had is refering to the end of the story, it almost sounded like Kim did not return from Aspen. I hope this was not the case by any means.
Gotta say its one of the best stories I've heard in a while, wish it were me in it. My life has been a tragedy almost as in the story, but with a different ending for now maybe it will change in the future. (still looking for my gardian angel)
I missed this one in the past. Truly a well-written romance.
Thanks DG!
I too couldn't stop from crying my eyes out, the wedding scene was the best scene ever written .

The best of the best! Human, warmth, family and all combine to make for the best of Loving Wives stories. RAG
This story had me crying my eyes out! It is by far the absolute best romance story I have ever read. I applaud your work! No one else has done to me what you have done, WHY?? Please consider writing professionally, you do better than great work!
Wonderful story about loving people who are going to become a warm-hearted loving family.One of the best I've read in a long time. Congratulations author.

I can spam all you entries by saying what a great writer you are and still fall short of my admiration for you words.
This was another sweet tale. I am reading many of your stories for a second time (or more). You never disappoint.
A real tear jerker. This is one of the best stories I've read.
Great job DG, wonderful story. You have a talent for story telling that is rare indeed. Keep up the good work!
That "Daddy's Little Girl" dance brought tears to my eyes. You jerk, you're forcing me to write better.
To the most part the second part read like the bonus section in current DVD's where, under "additional features" you get extra takes or other forms of information on the main plot. That does not mean that I did not enjoy it, as I have. I just want to keep it honest; story wise most of the second part wasn't really essential to the main plot - even though as I said it did feel good to read. Thanks for the whole package!
DG I give this story thumbs up I really loved reading that ending it left me in tears all the way .
Pat
love story!
Nice characterization and a great sense of feelings and relationships.
I'm hoping I can get started writing again this afternoon.
Regards, Jack
What a super story for the holidays! I'm not ashamed to admit that my eyes were damp throughout. DG, this was yet another exceptionally well-written story up to your usual high standards. Yes full marks - no suggestions for improvement - to me it was perfect!. You are one of only a handful of authors I really care to read anymore. A devoted fan, Pete.
For not making us wait for the second part. Great story but I wouldn't expect less from you.
You are one of the few writers whose stories I look for. Never disappointed.
A fan of DG Hear's stories and pround of it.
Can't sign my name, I'm a writer too.
If a spouse has not remarried, he or she is entitled to the full social security, just as though no other spouses existed. In this case, Mollie, and the other two spouses should be entitled to the exact same benefit - the full death benefits, not pro-rated benefits.
A good love story as you always deliver. Thank you for the effort and entertainment<P>PT
Thank you,DG,for a marvelous holiday story.I enjoy all your stories.Please keep writing.
What a feel good story! especially at this time of the year. I hate to admit it, but i had tears in my eyes a few times there.
Here, here, Mr. Hear - - -
I looked forward to this second part all day, and indeed it puts the topping on it all. Everything you produce seems to be from your heart, and I think that's the way it should be. The Wanderer, Jake (C4) Rivers (Can't call him "Dynamite" any more)and yourself are what I consider to be the Acme(s) of Authors. Thanks, DG, for a damned fine read. Prof. Ramstein
