Click hereMarriage to Jacks was everything I hoped it would be, although starting off with a Freshman in college and a high school child was definitely different.
Epilog
We eventually had two children of our own, a boy and a girl. We named them Robert and Martha. If they were half the human beings as their namesakes, they will truly make the world a better place.
After they graduated, Jimmy and Claire married, making Claire both my daughter and sister-in-law. We get a few odd looks when people figure out our family; but it works for us, and in the end, that's all that matters.

Nitpicover 1 year agoHow could she ring Robert and Martha at home,when they were at the fireworks display with them.Also convenient they lived long enough to express their wishes,normally folk injured that bad are in a coma.What happened to Jack's and Jimmies relationship with their parents?.Were they invited to the wedding?.
Cracker270almost 2 years agoI wonder if anyone else felt the influence of Randi. Great job. Thank you
freebase2020about 2 years agoold-man writing. typically terrible from the author, who is a scold like an old woman.
dirtyoldbimanabout 2 years agolike that its written from a female perspective. car crash was not necessary and ending way to rushed, silly
Nitpicalmost 3 years agoWhat about Jack's parents,surely him and Jimmy getting married created some sort of re-union.?
hang1022almost 3 years agoWould have been 5 star until you killed off the parents? Loved the rest of the story.
Olgreyfoxover 4 years agoThank you so very much for this wonderful romantic love story. I just sat back and thoroughly enjoyed this great read. KUDOS
rodryder44almost 5 years agoCan't say I've read another story on Literotica written in the first person black voice. With the exception of her views on cops and the 'state', I felt Slate's outlook on life was very white. It was a love story and it was very good. I think the author needed a catalyst to end the story and Rob and Martha's death served that purpose well BTW, this isn't a LW story, it's Romance. I liked all the characters. Four stars.
DiscoveringUtopiaabout 5 years agoI do like it when I know what I want to happen after the first few paragraphs and then it actually happens.
I, like some others, did feel the story was rushed after the parents deaths. But I'm not in the habit of criticizing plots. I enjoyed it and it got one of the few 5*'s that I've ever given in LW.
I enjoy reading your comments on other stories and glad I finally found yours.
Anonymousover 5 years agoThis felt very much like your editor’s work, with all the pros and cons that come with that. I won’t take the time to list all the similarities. I’m sure you recognize them. Nicely done, but I would prefer that you find your own voice.
MackBobover 5 years agoOvercritical,
Some ofyour comments have some merit, especially about the fishing rod and jimmy and Claire getting together. But your comment on society not being ready for mixed race marriages smacks of racism! Sounds to me that you are not ready, so you hide behind " society". What is society if not you and me along with ALL other people? Jus saying!
Overcriticalalmost 6 years agoTo me this story had so many things going against it that it's almost embarrassing that I admit having read the whole thing. First there's the obvious race thing. The fact that many people go along with the interracial connection doesn't make it any easier or more acceptable. You can call me a bigot, but for the most part society is not ready for it and it's just a lousy idea. Then there's the trite connection between Jimimie and Claire. There's the ridiculous opening scene where Slate breaks her treasured fishing rod to protect Claire. There's the unbelievable bad luck of the accident killing Robert and Martha forcing them to find a way to keep the girls together. I'm a firm believer in the sanctity of fantasy in Literotica, but this was too much. I gave this a 2*, but I'm mostly rating my stupidity in reading this junk.
