So Beautiful yet so very, very sad. Possibly your best work to date. 5 stars and a fave
Just what we all needed for Valentines Day...a horrible downer story. You have a twisted idea of romance. WTF.
Damn! Heck of thing to read before breakfast. Good story, real tear jerker though.
I caught it right away but I thought it was going to be of a soldier/sailor last family moments before shipping out. Either way the story is very poignant - life is but a fleeting moment. Hope he lasts long enough to hold his son and get that special picture/video for his son.

Dad you have the gift of knowing when - so don't squander the gift. Time to make many video messages for your son to be viewed at certain milestones.

With the techno world we live in today, mom/dad, grandma/pa don't waste time, when will the next Covid-19 hit?!? Make video messages to your kids. Give them something to remember of YOUR person, YOUR voice, YOUR mannerisms, YOUR beliefs. Burn your MP4's to DVD and put them in your Safety Deposit box with instructions on the sleeve cover. Don't waste you moments - very few of us get to know when it will happen so plan for it being next week - you can always update your MP4's.
A well-written story about a woman how respects and loves her husband. Such feelings are seldom
written about and you have done so beautifully.
a well
To be able to able to build and rip that much emotion from a short story is an art.
It brought a tear to my eye. Such a powerful story told in so few words. Amazing.
Can't describe how beautiful and romantic and lovely story. Definitely a 5 star ✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟.
Don't know if knowing when the end is coming is a good thing or a bad thing. Hopefully it gives enough time to make things right, but the pending end can be bitter-sweet. Most times the end comes and the only time we have to make things right is how we live, and then we are gone. Both are hard to deal with but I don't think it's ever easy. Good story, short and very moving. Thanks
Absolutely moving and in so few words so much is expressed. 5 stars.
To the Anon who called this a twisted idea of romance - love is not just about the good times and sexual passion but truly comes to the fore when comforting and helping a loved one through bad times. Comforting and helping a dying person is one of the greatest expressions of love that there can be, as this story well illustrates. Very sad but also very romantic.
This is the best 750 word story I have read.
Gotta do a better job of dusting around here...
Damn dust allergies are making my eyes leak.....
An emotional heart wrenching story. It is heart felt filled with love and anguish. Wonderfully told.
I loved it.
790 words. A lifetime of love packed into them. This is why Bebop is one of my favorite authors here.
Best love story in 750 words. Beautiful and romantic. Definitely a five star 🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟
Corny, predictable,.........all of that, but I loved it!....but then I'm predictable(just what you'd expect for this type of story!).
For those of you who think 750 words is too few, go buy a Grishom or Clancy novel.
OH! You'll have to BUY It!?
.
I believe it's far more difficult to build a 750 word story than a 50K novel.

AND... Lit is probably one of the best proving grounds for writers, as so many commentators weigh in, and some comments are actually helpful!
And, you don't have to submit your hard work to "publishers " until you can afford to.
