Wow, seems an inadequate expression, but that was a beautiful story with so much emotion in it. Glad they both had what they wanted and needed at the end.
I rarely comment or post on here; but I find that I have to make an exception. It's a tender and lovely piece of work (as someone else has already said). Erotic but warming too
I have a friend who lost her husband from cancer. He was young and the father of her 3 boys. After a few years she remarried a man with 3 boys and they became a big family. She said something similar to the last 2 sentences of this story. Wonderful story.
As a widower I could well relate to this story. The feel of betrayal to your deceased partner the first time your hormones take over and you find yourself with another woman. And then you as if a weight was lifted off of you. Then you realize that the sex may be great. But your " friend " is not what you need or honestly want. Sometimes by the oddest chance that person does walk into your life as if it was predetermined.
And for both of use that is how it feels. 16 years now and still going strong . Life does seem guided at times.
I liked this story a lot. Very interesting idea for the subject matter. Maybe just a little bit corny at the end - but even that didn't matter for me as I like happy endings!
Keep writing. I look forward to reading more from you. Very well written, wonderful characters. May have teared up a bit, and the happy ending, well, i still love the princess bride, so , you get the idea
Just as the few other comments I read, I enjoyed this story.
It was well written, was well edited and very much true to life.
Having just turned 75, and being single, I wonder what the future holds for my happiness.
Such a story gives me hope !
