I've just run across this story today, several years after you wrote it. It's a lovely story of love and commitment. I have read many of your later stories but this is, so far, your best. I loved it. Thank you.
WOW. Eyes are moist. A smile on my lips. Felt as if i was living in the story. Thank you.
OMG What a wonderful and totally different type of story. This grips my heart in such a warm way.
Thank you Ronde for this great work.
Wonderful story, 10 stars aren't even close. Laura was what he needed, as well as he was what she needed... I know it's fiction, but not necessarily fiction, because it can happen in real life...
Tears are streaming down my 91 year old face. So realistic. Now I have to dry the tears and read the rest of your works. Thank you.
The writer exposed as a manipulator of the readers' emotions. Some may say the story is sappy.
others may use the word saccharine. I call it truth. And beauty. This is in the tradition of Faulkner.
I'd opine seven stars.
DAMM the wind must have blown some dust into my eyes...š„. Not bad.. I'll have to read it again to make sure it deserves the 10 stars I think it should get.
Absolutely love this story. Still trying to get the dust out of my eyes. AAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++
Thank you for sharing such a tender story. Usually stories I read in this venue never effect me this way , but with that said I was balling in the last parts and what Laura had to tell him to bring closure to their relationship and and the caring she had had for this special young man was unique Iām sure.
I wish you congratulations on making an old man tear up with such an awesome story and so well written..
I being of that same age group as terry it all feels so real!!!
Please grace us with more as I will place you on my favorites list Iām sure.
Wow! An outstanding teary eyed story.
I came back to look for stories I missed . Glad I found this gem.
