Painful but loving memories

The story jerked my chain. I've been there, only it was cancer. I don't care how long ago it happened it will come back. Raw and Well done with some humor thrown in. Thank you.

Days

Thank you for the days...

Those endless days those sacred days you gave me...

I`m dreaming of the days...

I won`t forget a single day believe me...

I bless the light...

I bless the light that shines on you believe me...

And though you`re gone...

You`re with me every single day believe me.

Beyond Words

A very sad story indeed. However you need not apologise for writing it. One of the great things about Literotica is that every story does not have to be a stroke story. Thanks,David

well done!

To love once better than not to have loved at all.

Nonerotic, I think not!

Sad enough to bring tears to my eyes, yet it certainly wasn't nonerotic! No sex scenes in the story, who cares? What could be more erotic than expressing your love for such a wonderful woman, someone that you'll remember the rest of your life!

Sounds like a romance story to me

You're just jerking our chains when you say this story has no entertainment value whatever. This is a romance story if I ever saw one. Just because you didn't go into detail on the sex doesn't mean that there wasn't a passionate love between the two of you. This should be eligible for a prize.

Don't be so self-effacing...

Anything written from the heart is always worthwhile, no matter what category it's in! I wish there were more stories like this on Literotica, and I'm sure these memories are still raw. Thanks for having the courage to share them!

an overwhelming emotional ride

The only thing that was more obvious than the pain was the love. No apology needed for this Dave, because it was clearly a product of love. Thanks so much for sharing.

Twice

I read this story yesterday and cried...I thought I was just feeling emotional. Today I read it again and cried again so it's decided, I'm not emotional; your story is just DAMN GOOD!!!

Never apologize for writing quality Dave. This story is wonderful and well written just the way it is.

Thank you for writing it.

One minute I'm laughing my butt off at the mention of the batusi, the next minute I'm losing it the other way. Wonderful!

*sigh

What a beautiful story. I've always believed that our very best stories come from the heart, and often no matter how hard we may try to keep them bottled up, because maybe they're too hard to relive or express or share with others, they still always find a way to come back out. Writing can be catharsis in it's purest form, and as readers we are all the better for your sharing this expereince. Great job and good luck on the contest...

Classic Truth

David, Love Story, Message in a Bottle and Thank You For the Days. There are many tragic true stories but only a few people great enough to tell them. Thank you for sharing. I read it when it first came out and was too emotional to write anything. I have had two great losses in my life and you hit the right chords. Thanks again Dave.

I seldom cry...

But this story made me remember how. Beautiful, heart and soul and everything that comes between written in such a way that a stone would dissolve under it. Thank you for sharing this, for letting us see a piece of something as old as time and as true as love. Thank you.

Tragic...

There something extra special when a little songbird can sang no more. Anyone who isn't touched by this has to have had his heart removed. Seldom have I read a story so sad; and, yet so unbelievably beautiful.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 17 years ago

A classic story

That I get pissed off about every time I see it mentioned on the Comments Portal. I know that I've got to go and read the damn thing yet again.

I know its going to upset me, but I also know I've got to read it one more time. I don't know whether to thank the author or curse him. DC

Speechless

No one in their right minds could be indifferent about a story like this. Words can't express the empathy I have for you right now, but I guess what doesn't kill us'll only make us stronger. Beautiful story and, imo, THE best story on Literotica.com. Thanks a million and God bless!

AnonymousAnonymousover 14 years ago
I don't usually...

I don't usually cry over stories or movies, but this time around I had to shed a tear.

Not only because it was a caring story but also because I'm going through something similar myself... I'm sick at the moment and I don't know exactly what's wrong and all I've been getting done are tests and more tests, each one coming back with good but not so good news.

I thank you for sharing your story with everyone.

My story

In 1998 I lost my wife of 38 years to cancer. In telling your story you are also telling mine and the many others who have borne this terrible loss

Thankyou for doing it so beautifully.

AnonymousAnonymousover 14 years ago
Wonderful

They gave each other the best night that they could. And screw authority that wanted her to die in their "care" and not in his love. Lots of tears. I am sorry for your loss but I thank you. JT in AB

Sometimes you just have to let the story out

You needn't apologize for writing this story. It was tender and touching. Unfortunately, it didn't have a happy ending, but it was full of romantic love. I think "Thank You for the Days" requires a "Thank You for the Story." Great writing.

Sad, but beautiful

The writing of the story may have been selfish, but it is most definitely worth reading. Take Mac's advice and don't put yourself down.

Thanks.

Wow

A true love story. The best thing about true love is that it lives forever. In your heart. Be glad for the time you've had and be grateful that you've had it.

CalliciousCalliciousover 10 years ago
Thanks for the Days!

What is life, but a vapor? We tend to think we are immortal, and live like we have forever instead of taking the days and living them to their fullest. Wonderful story. I've got tears in my eyes, and I knew what was happening.

Just means she's worth remembering.

As is everyone we love. Ya wrote good. God bless you...and her.

AnonymousAnonymousover 9 years ago
I'm so sorry.

I know it's hard. But just remember the good days and nights. Remember her as she was before the news. And remember that you were there for her when she needed you the most.

Thank you

I think I have read this 6 to 8 times. Tears every time. A beautiful story. I have had 2 cancer deaths in my life. My mother and a good friends son. So I understand. I was in Germany in the military and I was given 2 weeks to see my mother. We said goodbye as I had to get home to my unit and we both knew that that was the last time we would see each other. I cried all the way on the flight back to my wife. She passed 4 days later. I just wished that I had more days with her. Loved it DW but painful.Jim

Your pain and Cathy's

Cathy's pain, but especially yours, brought tears to my eys--and I'm 74 years-old.

Yes, you had to absolutely write your story, as painful as it is/was. You had to, else could you ever get past it?

And you wrote it wonderfully. Mike

So sad

My grandmother likewise was at my grandfathers side from early September 1975 until his death on February 17, 1976, she never was the same until her death in July of 1992, as I read your story I can feel how much you loved each other just like my grand parents loved each other. This story is a masterpiece thanks for sharing it with us

A very powerful story. This is the second story in a row I’ve read here in non-erotic that brought tears to my eyes. I think I need to go back to the loving wives section, I’m not sure I’m strong enough to read these kind of stories.

Thanks for sharing, davidwatts.
