Wow! An outstanding teary eyed story.
I came back to look for stories I missed . Glad I found this gem.

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 I’m 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 I’m sure.
Absolutely love this story. Still trying to get the dust out of my eyes. AAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++
DAMM the wind must have blown some dust into my eyes...😥. Not bad.. I'll have to read it again to make sure it deserves the 10 stars I think it should get.
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.
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.
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...
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.
WOW. Eyes are moist. A smile on my lips. Felt as if i was living in the story. Thank you.
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.
Real people with real love will always touch the sole. Thanks for showing what it manifests.
This is the third time I have read this wonderful story. Thank you for a true love story!
I wasn't able to find a score or comment but I know I read it. I had added it to my favorites. This might be your best story but you've written so many wonderful ones! Thanks.

A very romantic loving caring story, as I read it tears came to my eyes. Keep writing!
Very nice. Another one I liked.
I’ve just discovered this author
and I’m currently Ronde binging.
Reading through this one again. Read it so many times I’ve lost count. Just awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your work and characters with us. An excellent read!

I stumbled across this story some years ago but after some searching I discovered it still has the same magic that it did when I first found it. Bravo to you on an exquisite tale of enduring love and un conditional understanding.
This story describes a touch of personal magic that happens between two people who don't let convention and others dictate their behavior towards each other. It tells us to treat others with an open mind rather than prejudge them. It left me with a very warm feeling. 5*, of course.
A wonderful story! Wish I could give this more than five stars. Thanks for sharing.
I remember reading this story years ago and I am just as enchanted by it now as I was then.
As far as I can recall, this is the first story I ever read on this site, back in 2002 or thereabouts. I haven't read it again until now, and it is still a beautiful tale.
I am glad to see that you are back, but, as a long-time reader on this site, may I be so bold as to offer a small piece of advice?
Slow down! You are submiting stories at express speed, but the proofreading is suffering, as shown by the increasing number of typos.
Looking forward to reading even more of your work, including some of your previous submissions in other categories, that I have not read (because I don't usually read in those categories!)
Best wishes,
Nick
This is really lovely and grabs my heart as well as my balls, in the best way. I love the characters, and the depth. I was a bit put out by the suddenness of Laura's transformation from grumpy and frumpy to gorgeous, but that was the only moment that seemed to miss a best. Everything else felt real and natural and lovely, thank you.
This is hands down one of the best, if not THE BEST stories I have read on Literotica or ANY OTHER erotica story website! Definitely the BEST ROMANCE STORY HERE! And I usually don't enjoy the Romance category! Thank you Ronde !
I’d give you a 10 on this one if I could! Probably the best story I’ve read on this site. Well done!
Great, I thought it well re-searched peroid story. No mandatory oral, anal, glazing, choking or rough. I think with being younger the phrasing of her reaching down to stimulate the clitoris was out of place, with her natural grooming how could he see the nub? Her doing the action fits, just that wording seem more 2023 stroke story. Parts of the ending seemed long, liked Wendy's playfulness. I really did enjoyed the story.
Laura's Vineyard is one of my favorite stories. I come back to it every once in a while and am always touched by reading it.
Thank you for such a wonderful story.
What a touching, heartfelt story—full of emotion, regret, and love. One of the most deeply satisfying I’ve read on Literotica.
The only little point to raise—The University of Michigan doesn’t have a program in agriculture. That’s at Michigan State. Both have engineering programs, though (says a grad of both schools).
Oh my word, that was a wonderful tale, somehow you completely captured their sense of loss and desolation but mixed with hope, wistfulness and love, I’m in tears after reading that and tbh I’m not sure why. Damn fine story though. 5⭐️
I’ve read this story a dozen times over the years. Still my favorite. Incredibly well done.
Probably the best one I have read in this format. Beautiful flowing sentences, no grammatical errors and no obscene sexual phrasing either. You are a gifted writer.
I'm a 72 yr old Vietnam Veteran and your story made me shed a few tears. Wonderful read and I won't soon forget " Laura's Vineyard " Don D.
Such a well wrought story. It brought tears to the eyes of this old geezer.
Every time I come back and reread this, I rate it 5 stars and cry before and after rating it. Love like this is rare, in stories and life. Thanks for making us believe it nad live with it, even for a short while.
I just want to fap not cry.
5/5 on this story though, such bittersweet ending.
I have read this story many times and I always end with a damp eye ! Beautifully written and a true love story that can really be enjoyed . Thank you
Brilliant story, Absolutely loved it. A poignant tale of love and happiness together with a degree of sadness. Thank you so much for sharing it.
I have read this story twice, and enjoyed.it.even more the second time!
You write very well. Ignore the comments that disparage the dream; that BOY isn't old enough to understand. Loved it. Glenn
Barley made it to page 2. Looked for the sex part, disappointing, very.
Over several years I hav eread this story multiple times and it brings tears to my eyes every time. thank you for a great story!
This stands out among the others. Defo one of the best that I have read.
This wonderful story is my benchmark, not just in erotica [which would have debased
it] but in very fine, general literature
A great story beautifully written and believable, this was so believable.
Absolutely the best short story I have read in a long time. Kudos and thanks to the author.
