This story was so emotional and beautifully written that it had me crying. I absolutely loved it!
A good, sweet and erotic read. I commend you and this work!!
What a beautiful story. Tears are streaming down my face. I'm 67, and usually a cynical old man, but today you have made my day brighter. Thank you.
This was a beautiful story and because I am in Michigan, it meant even more.

I have read stories on this site for a few years in all categories and this story is the first to make an old man of 58yrs cry!!
It is a story full of emotion. I fully empathise with the two main characters in this story. If there was any justice in this world this story line should be made into a film. Fantastic.
I love the story. It is truly emotional and heartfelt. I read it once by chance many years ago and for some reasons decided to look for it again. I only wish that someday my writing can evoke the same emotion.
over the past few years and it always brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful yet sad tale. Thank you. ML
This short story made me emotional in so many ways - the love that two people can have for each other who are not partners in the traditional sense is captured so beautifully in this wonderful piece. Thank you.
And I'm glad for that. This was a wonderful story. Not too long to be burdensome, but long enough to convey that which needed to be. Exceptional.
Sometimes, friendship means more than love. A lovely story, lovingly told.
I cried, I'm still crying as I write. I haven't read anything so moving for years. Thank yoiu.
I am sitting looking out over our small vinyard and garden area as my beautiful hard working wife is trimming and fussing over her plants and I can so relate to this story. Thank you for a beautiful and moving story! Johnnie3
I was also moved to tears by your story of love and loss. This is the first that I've read from you, and I look forward to reading more. Well done!
This is a really touching story, full of emotion and humanity; very moving. I'd urge everyone to read this.
This story was certainly a welcome surprise! Very well written, with a real plot and a real message. The sex, while certainly a critical element of the story, is not the main focus here. It is just one part in a very well-conceived and well-crafted tapestry. The story has a realism that is rare in general and far more scarce in the realm of erotic literature. Thank you.
That was the best I have ever read on here. and yeah it almost made me cry.
Thank you.
Brilliant. Beautifully. You made me cry like a young kid. I never cry.
Thank you
my god, this is the first story i have ever, and probably will ever comment
the sex, was great and arousing, the 3rd page would have made me cry had i not been bunking with someone else on an oilrig. thought i wasn't mushy anymore..
Moving stuff. May sound silly, considering where I'm reading this...lol, but have you ever tried submitting to Reader's Digest? You may have to cut some explicit details, but It's a really good story. Don't sell it short.
Know the area well, a "Made for Michigan Movie" script.......
well done, thanks for sharing your heartfelt hard work

man!! your story is at the wrong site.ive never ended up in tears aftr a story here atleast.immmmmmmmmpecccccccccccccccaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbble
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH US. IT'S A GREAT STORY WITH ALL THE RIGHT ELEMENTS.
This is a wonderful story. It has an erotic component, but mostly it is a love story of an unusual kind. I found it heart warming. Thank you for writing it!
This is the most beautiful piece of writing I've had the pleasure of reading. The story was exceptional and had me spellbound. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us. Congratulations on the success and all the wonderful comments. They are well deserved.
What a beautiful story! It truly touched my heart. I am sobbing. Tears are pouring down my cheeks. I almost couldn't get through the last page.
How beautiful.
How tender.
Thank you...
One of the best stories i have ever read i admire your talent, after reading this i will check your other submissions if there are more....
I have been reading on this site for many years and this romantic entry is by far the best.
This story brought tears to my eyes; it conveys everything I love about being human. And it allows me the pleasure to see that each of our love experiences is unique to ourselves with our own individual expressions of passion, love, gratitude, and appreciation. I so appreciate this story. Thank you.
the most beautiful story I have read on Literotica. Thank you.
This is such a fine story. The sincerity of the main chararcters pulled me right into this tale. Being a farmer and jack-of-all-trades myself, I especially appreciated the details concerning the work and the repairs at the vineyard. All of this made the development of the relationship so believable. The intense empathy between two humans is the basis for a very high form of erotic communication.
As hard and as long as she had been working the vineyard her hands would not be soft, she could have a tender touch, but not soft hands, even wearing gloves.
<P>
It is a great story, I'm glad I read it.

this is perhaps one of those few noteworthy submissions ever posted...highly impressive n very sincere...Laura is an amazing character...
Lovely story. It brought tears to the eyes which made reading difficult towards the end. Most emotional story I have read.
The most beautiful love story I've ever read. I too, fell in love with Laura, and I cried..
This story is a masterpiece,truly a masterpiece. What more can I say?
One comes to find a diversion, and instead is presented with a masterpiece. Thank you.
As compared to most of the crap accepted on this site, you show real talent. You tell a story and the sex blends with the plot and the characters seamlessly. Thanks for raising the level and for understanding editing and grammar as well.

What a beautiful story! And even as a man approaching 70, it brought tears to my eyes. you have a very nice touch with pacing, theme, and ability to write that conveys such wonderful emotions. that you can write with such insight and feeling is really a gift. thanks so much for your time and effort!
Absolutely the best story, in any category, on this entire site. The author might consider developing it into a screen play. It reminded me, emotionally, of "The Summer of '42", the great coming-of-age movie from the '70's. The characters are believable, the situations are real, and it would easily make a wonderful movie.
Keep writing. You are talented.
This is the fourth time I've read this wonderful story. Each time, it means more to me than the last. It is the finest love story I've ever read. Too bad Ronde is still not making a contribution to this venue.
this without a dought the most wonderful story I have ever read on literotica,I cried my eyes out
What a moving, lovely story...so well crafted and written. I now have to read everything else you have contributed to Literotica. God Bless!
The best of Literotica I have read. (arizt@sbcglobal.net) Ed
This is a story about regard, respect and sex. Its a beautiful, human story I was suprised to find, I loved it.
Thank you.
In many ways this is simply the best story on this site. There really isn't anything else to say.
I normally come to this site for stories of sex. However, this one had more -- it had feeling. I have never voted on a story here before, this one I voted a 5. Not only that, it's the only one that brought a tear to my eye. (Literally so!)
The sex was good in it, but more so was the love. Well done.
Hi Ronde:
I enjoyed your story immensely! The sex came after a relationship, not before. What a treat it was read a story with no gutter language.
More, more!

Wonderful story!!!!! Exremely well written and presented. My heartfelt thanks for a story that did not involve an instant erection of a foot-long penis at the mere sight of a hint of lace on a bra.
I read Literotica for special stories such as this one. Your writing is wonderful. Your characters and situations are REAL. You make me care about the people and the events. I have read some of your other stories but somehow missed this one previously. I wanted to make sure I left feedback on this story so you would know that readers are still reading and enjoying your work almost 6 years after you originally posted it. I will go back and reread some of your other stories, and also read some others I may have also missed before. I'll leave feedback on them, also. By the way, it's not important and even a little bit silly to mention, but I remember your name when I do an author search because of Ronde Barber - a NFL football player who is the brother to Kiki Barber - an NFL football running back who retired a year or so ago. Thanks for the very real, emotional pleasure I received from reading this story.
This was such a warm lovely story and I'm not ashamed to say it made me cry as well. I real stroke of luck I discovered your stories.
Thanks for this one. This is what I'm hoping to find here. Good stuff about life that touches me. People can write however they like but there need to be something 'breathing' in their story. This one had it.. Cheers Yoron.
This story has to be one of the best written tales ever published on this site. It leaves out vulgar slang terms and replaces them with more adult themes adding a true professionalism to the entire piece. This author, of whom's work may not yet be published, has a real future in writing.
great work, you definitly know how to create charachters. And although normally I prefer a scotch, I think today I'll have me a good glass of wine. Cheers
A wonderful story. So much vivid detail. You made me believe it really happened
I've read this story several times over the past 5 years. It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful this story is and how beautifully you tell it. Thank you.
Every now and then I come back and read this story. It is one of the finest if not THE finest on this site. Masterfully done.
I usually read stories for one reason only but this is something so different and so beautiful I can't remember a story that moved me in such a way,as an author you should be proud of yourself please keep writing in this way
This story is just superb, not as an example of well-written erotica, but rather as an example of perfection to all who write stories. I can see them all: Charlie, Terry, the sad-faced Mr. Dobson, Wendy, the guests floating across the lawn, drinking the wine with the the brown-haired princess on the label, and perhaps most clearly of all, Laura, herself.
I would have loved to meet her, too
One of the most heart warming stories I have read anywhere. I guess for an old guy I am a softy! This story made me very happy.
Never thought that I'd be rubbing tears while reading from Literotica. This is fantastic. Hope you'll post more. Ever think of writing a book?
Good luck.
I wish I had love as pure as this...I've had it the past but aways let it slip away...regrets do not heal the hollowness in my soul.
This is one of the most beautifully written stories that I have ever read here. It's poignant and moving as well as being wonderfully erotic. Thank you!
THIS IS "THE" BEST STORY THAT I HAD EVER READ. THIS CAN DEFINITELY BE MADE INTO A MOVIE. YOU TOOK YOUR TIME TO SET THE MOOD AT EVERY OCCASION. IT WAS MORE THAN EROTIC LITERATURE, THERE WAS LOVE AND COMPASSION. THANK YOU FOR WRITING SUCH AN INSPIRATIONAL PIECE OF LITERATURE. IF I WAS ABLE, I WOULD GIVE YOU A WRITER'S AWARD FOR YOUR WORK.
a master story teller with a beautiful story beautifully told,hope to read more
Beautiful story. You've touched an old man's heart and made him cry--I cry for happy! Thank you. I hope your other stories stand up to this one.
This is such a moving story. Rolling slowly at first, but such great charachters.
Thanks for the experience.
This is one of my absolute favourite stories here. It still makes me cry whenever I read it. There is so much emotion and character in the prose that the sex takes a back burner.
Thank you for the lovely story. I can only "ditto" the others who rated you with a 100.
After all the hot and repetitive erotic sex, this stands out as a true human story of what love is - not physical sex, but love.
I usually come to Literotica to "charge my batteries"... a little sexual voyeurism via literature. This story touched my heart. Well done!
Hi ronde,
this is a wonderfull story. Deeply moving. Better than I expected to find here.
Of course, there's much of what one reader called a "sob story", but that makes this one special.
Keep on writing.
Outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful story.
Did not like this submission at all, thought it was a labour to read and wasn't impressed in the slightest. Should have concentrated on the eroticism of the story and NOT the sob story that unfolded. Also found it un-realistic and the ending was disjointed.
Awesome reading and I enjoyed it very much from beginning rite thru to the end. Thank you so much.
stunning| ilaughed a little and cried like a baby.this story has it all.this deserves all its plaudits.this should be made into a film.thank you for sharing it with us.
this story was one of the first i read on this site and i've not found better thanks
