I'm lying in bed with tears streaming down my face.
Thank you for being such an amazing writer.
Amazingly talented author should submit this for publication.
I haven't cried this much since my father died... How do you do the wonderful thing you do?
Makes you stop and think about everyone you ever met and wonder what might have been had not pride, ego or circumstances gotten in the way. This has to be one of the best written stories
Again, my second read, still I cried, I come here to hide, to be lost in the stories, make the pain of my own loss,less, Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent, thank you for your understanding of the cost of love and loss.

Why would anybody write,or read a story full of so much pain? Yeah,love and pain,but doesn't life suck enough without reading a 7-page story about impending death?! Sorry but I don't need to be reminded in a story on literotica just how much life/death can suck!
Sure, we all know why we're on this site, but this really is the best story I've read here.
It's so well written and draws you in emotionally. Thank you!
I'll reread it every few months and it still gets me every time.
Great story, but a bit depressing. Very vividly told, though....
I agree with NorthPacific2017. The best tales are those in which you come to care about the characters as you would living people. I say without reservation, this is the best story I’ve read on this site and one of th best stories I have EVER had the pleasure of reading. The tale made me feel. That is something I haven’t done in a very long time. And even though some of the feelings hurt, I embrace them because that pain is a better than the emptiness of feeling nothing. Bravo. Keep writing.
Thank you for this story! It touched me personally. I've had recurring cancer, and it never sleeps. Even near death experiences concentrate the mind. And wonderfully told! I'm a writer myself, with an English Lit. degree from an ivy league school, and I'm intensely jealous.
A difficult subject, written with compassion and sensibility, very well done. I was doing okay in the story until the valedictorian gave her speech, oh crap past Kleenex.
This was a great story. My eyes sweated through several parts. Thank you.
Is it really true that Heart aches and sadness,only hides what we can not seem to give up, because of self doubt,maybe it's more than that, butt when we can hold on to that which's brings use happiness and fulfills our lives, like nothing else ever has. One's hopes and dreams are those thing's in which we dare to even think about coming true, setting our selves up only to have them come tumbling down,because we made a bad choice. I've made my share of them so I really know just how much it can mess up your life, your dreams seem to whined up never being seen again your hopes are lost and you lose what friends you have made. I think you see where I'm going with this anyway thank you for the story Loved it ….
I’ve read this twice so far, I have little doubt I will keep coming back to it. Damn fine work.
This story is what’s called a page turner and even when I read to the end; I have to sit and wait for my own emotions to catch up. Beautiful work, and thank you for writing this.
Damn, this story got all up in the feels. I definitely love your style of writing.
I am here crying and knowing the joy of being loved and having a wife love you back. I was building for her and she got sick with parkinson's and 2 years later passed on to Glory and no more pain to endure. Thanks for putting words to a story in my life.
My eyes sprang a leak at this beautiful, emotion wrenching, heart warming story. Thank you for the feelings.
I have read this story several times and it always makes me cry. A lot. Thank you for one of the finest stories I have ever read -- and I read more than I sleep. And thank you for clearing my sinuses too. I wish I could afford to pay you what this story is worth.
Thanks much for all the stories you share...True treasures indeed.
I came here to read something to get me hot and bothered so i could sleep, a nice long sleep orgasms provide. But now i lie here crying but so happy. So many emotions and maybe its just my hormones talking but i needed to read something like this. So i can know i can still feel.
This story belongs on shelves, even more than on this site. Thank you for taking the time and care to write such a great story. I enjoyed reading this and did not want it to end...a sign of a well told and well written story.
Your story has me in tears. Thank you for this read. Truly inspiring. You are a beautiful writer. I made an account just so I could comment and tell you thank you.
What a great read! I sensed the early on and my eyes welled up as I saw the truth. God please continue to write like this. You are my new favorite author!
another "very good read. it was a tear jerk er but very good. it could almost make you believe in happily ever after. I lost my wife suddenly after 41 wonderful years; and like this couple that was way to soon. keep up the good work.

I really enjoy your writing voice. You're able to mix humour, love and sex in a beautiful way. I look forward to reading more of your stories.*L
I appreciate your story and will look for others by you. You write well, and create characters that are real. I appreciate your skill. Thank you.
This was exceptionally well written, thank you for a wonderful read!
Thank you so much, poor praise for a story that brought tears to my eyes
This has to be one of the best stories ever put in this site. Fantastic work
Cool story and all but I didn’t like your voice for the grandmother. It’s low key racist.
Your writing is exceptional! You bring your characters to life, immerse the reader into the story. You draw out our emotions, this story brought me to tears. Thank You For Writing!!!!
I don't really know how many times I've read this story, but I could count the empty Kleenex boxes I guess. Best story on the web.
This story was just so amazing. Pulled at my heart strings and had me balling eyes out.
had me glued to it from beginning to end...well done...
This story inspires ones spirit to comprehend happiness and contentment. Well done! I look forward to reading it again, especially should I find myself lementing imperfections of life.
I have a loss for words , ...
As Momma would say "Ju did good"
I also came here imagining to see sexy stuff but it was really sad. I still thought it was a good read
Brilliantly written, you had a man in tears at the end, what can I say! Please find a publisher and write for the world. You have a undeniable talent that should be shared with the masses.
I have just binge read your entire collection and can't wait for more - here's a package of good luck wrapped in love - you are indeed a wonderful writer and deserve aclaim 😀
The story was amazing, but even to the end, I prayed for a miracle
im a bloke.
amazed that a bloke can think this and write it down.
its lovelly to be empowered as a guy who thinks, who caresb but falls short with words that abridge feelings and experiences.
thankyou very much
ive said it before. if i could figure out my log in i could leave my identity.
Can't really see well as something is making things all blurry. Damn
I needed this story I couldn’t put it down. I hope that you continue to write amazing stories like this.
You gave me hope, hope to keep going on with life and hope that I will find love. THANK YOU SK MUCH!!!
Second time I've read this story and it still makes me cry!
Made me cry a few times, wish he could have lived.. I lived in the story. It was really really good. Cant wait for the next one
Lost my wife to this disease. Wonderfully written. Hope this is just imaginary.
I have read some amazing stories on this site. This one leaves me speechless. I cannot think of a single misstep in the narrative. It rang true.
This is your best story, and you have set the bar high with your other writing. A beautiful combination of love and sadness. I can see every scene as you paint it with words.
It’s so sad that we are deprived of this excellence in the future.
This is by far one of my favorite stories on this site.
But goddamn, I've been chopping too many onions.
Movie.
This should definitely be made into a movie, assuming that it isn't already. Well, except for the obvious parts that maybe shouldn't.
This is the second time that I have read this story and the tears flowed again. Great writing. Keep up the good work
I never expected such a well written moving story on this site. Most excellent. Could not stop the tears!
I have read this story three different times since you posted it. I have cried each time. This was a great story with which you display your wonderful gift. I truly wish you would share with us where and under what name you are writting now. I for one would buy your stories. You are truly a great writer. This definitely earned five stars and if I could have given them, 10 out of 10 stars.
Thank you so much for this story....i'm in love with your words, it makes me want to make love to someone.
Is I can't figure out how you've managed to get such a low score on it...
I mean *only* a 4.92 right now...? Really...?
When I came to this site tonight, I was looking for a sweet story to help me get to sleep. I never dreamed I would be here an hour and a half later with tears streaming down my face. Very well done.
A great read , well written, and although the story had some sex it was the story that held me glued to the screen!
This story is worth to become one of the all time memorable films.
Probably the best that I have read here. It melted my heart. Made this 68 year old grandpa shed tears.
never thought a story from Literotica would make me cry, this is really something i would love to see it even as a short film,
I’m going to tone down the sex and read it to my wife.
I can guarantee she will cry too.
One of the beast stories I have read in a long time. Eyes full of tears . loved it. Excellently written. Thank for this story
Didn't think I would find such a wonderfully written story on Literotica, but here it Is! You have written a great short story! Made me cry tears a joy and sorrow. Well done!
This story has the least sex that you could possibly find on this site.
And it is, without any doubt, the best story on this site.
A joy to read.
I didn’t expect to ever see such a touching and well-written story on literotica. I cried. Thanks.
I knew he had to die. I read every page hoping for happy ending, Who would have thought I would be choked up in tears while reading on literotica. I want to take up writing and write alternate ending where alien strippers come down and dance his tumor away and they live happily ever after. Great love story, so friggin sad.
Great story, I find it amazing how much you put into a short story that flowed so well. It’s almost as if you had lived this event. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Wow , my wife is looking at me funny , wondering why I am crying , Hugz to the author ,
I rarely cry, ever, about anything. Absolutely amaxing story. 5 stars as soon as my sight isnt so blurry, damn allergies.
You bought so much emotion into the story, and made the character so real, I could see them with my mind's eye. If they don't try and turn this into a movie they ought to get STOPPED! A Jewel to read. And I don't cry at stories either but I bawled my eyes out on this one thank you.
It breaks my heart to know Mr. Cloud's future writing won't be found here. Mr. Cloud, I salute you and your talent.
is it possible to give this story beyond 5* ??
this is the 4th time i read & the result is same as last time (weeping)
Very well written story. Thank you for sharing it w/ us
This is a beautiful story. Extremely well written and subtly erotic. It gives us all something to aim for. Thank you for sharing.
Geez, what a great story. Although, I am glad I read this in the middle of the night and didn't have to explain to anyone why a 6'7", 265lb Musclehead is crying like a Baby. I doubt 20 years ago I would have had this same reaction but now at 54, despite 3 brushes with death including 2 that needed the paddles to "Bring me back", I can now see my own impending mortality coming some day, sooner or later. Hopefully, it will be much later but you never know until it happens.
Barring an unforeseen accident or a fast-moving Cancer, I know how my end will happen. It won't be from that IED that took the lives of some of my friends, I lucked out. It won't be from the 7.62 x 39mm Russian Round still lodged next to my spine, but instead, it will be a Rare form of Genetic Heart Disease.
It claimed the life of my biological father at age 48 many years ago and nearly took mine 2 years ago. As long as they can keep putting stents in the arteries of my Heart, I should be good to go, but like the Doctors said, one of these times I won't make it to the Hospital quick enough. There are just too many spots that the arteries are naturally smaller and for some reason will just collapse on themselves and seal.
Oddly, I think it would be more assuring in a bizarre way knowing if I had 3 or 6 months left to live. That way a person can get all of their final arrangements in order to lessen the burden on our loved ones. If that is even possible. I know I would be decimated if my wife was to pass before I did, but I would gladly take that if it meant she didn't have to suffer thru my loss someday. Funny how love works.
I loved how mama talked, JU made it very cool and realistic. lol. Excellent story, should be made into a movie.
I've never been to the romance section before so I went through the Hall of Fame to see what sort of stories were here and came across this one. I visit Literotica to pleasure myself not end up in a ball of tears from reading a beautiful story. If this is what the romance section provides, I'm sticking to the fetish and taboo sections as I'm just not strong enough to deal with these feels.
I swear I was looking through the porn section...
I should have been fapping, not sobbing like a bitch ;_;
Good story though.
This was a joy to read. You touched all the right buttons in this story. I cried like a baby at the end. This cements my opinion that the romance section is the best section to read.
I read this story about once a year and always end up with tears at the end. This year is no exception. Well written and deserves to be the top story.
You made this usually-dried eyed 40 + year old, ugly cry.. which means it is a really good piece of writing! Sometimes a good cry is more cathartic than an orgasm! I like my mellow drama in proper doses.. you delivered. Thank you for sharing such a heart felt story.
This is gold. I love how humurous and at the same time truth-slapping this story is.
That is one hell of a talent @DreamCloud.
This is a story that just tugs at your heart strings. He moves to follow his dream and finds a dream family. He falls in love with a beautiful woman and her mother ( his parents had died at an early age) Enough said it is simply a beautiful yet heart wrenching story. I like most of your reader's rate it over the top and I read it once or twice a year always ending up in tears. Not even close to a 5 star rating so much more than that.

Beautiful story. Well written , romantic and eloquent . Thank you
Amazingly powerful story. It really hit a strong emotional cord for me. Thank you, Dreamcloud, for sharing this tale.
A few paragraphs into this story I remembered that I had read it several years ago. As I continued reading, I recalled that it was one of the best stories ever. So I kept on. Until it ended. This is truly a great work by an extremely talented writer. It is possibly the only story I've ever read twice. Which is saying a great deal because I have always been an avid consumer of all things written. Hopefully the writer has found fame and/or fortune with his/her talents. Thank you, dear writer.
