All Comments on 'Charity Begins Next Door'

It's nice to read a story that has a happy ending. You did a great job with this story...

Lots of ups and downs in this fantastic story of loss and love. Found it difficult to read at times because of the tears in the eyes. I think the sex was very necessary to explain how both of them dealt with their loss and of their need for love. Five stars at least. Thanks

I hadn't read this one before! Sorry I waited so long! Great story!

This story was amazing . The x-rating was obvious when you got to the last two pages, and I normally don't tell my wife to read any Literotica stories, but even she said this was priceless. Got me an extra present later on, too. It was real life , with a happy ending .More, more.

Thanks for the extremely moving story.

The best in a very long time.

Excellent story and it is true that no one can feel the loss they had until it happens to you, losing someone after 40 years....................

I read the story last year, and really liked it.

I read it again and it was as enjoyable as the first time.

Frankly, the details of the sex scenes don't do very much for me as a little goes a long way, but the rest of the story was heartwarming and nicely written.

A really GREAT READ, Thank You 5***** This was a surprise and a huge improvement on some of the abusive and disgusting stuff in LW. this is the first of your stories I have read but I SHALL read as many of your others as I can... YOU ARE A MASTER STORYTELLER and that is without question or contestation.

I read this story first at least a year or two ago and came across it again reminding me just how incredible this story is. The heart wrenching tale of loss and bitterness is all too relatable, making tears well up several times throughout reading. Typically stories on Literotica don't encourage me to want to do more for others and be better, but this story does, thank you for the amazing story!

Such an emotional story and it is absolutely amazing.

I cried. I laughed...l love it. All I can say.

So I'll reserve any real comment till I finish, but..

2 weeks after his whole family is wiped out, and he gets "Snap out of it. Man up. Life is hard..."

Jesus, that's fucking harsh. I know life means about as much as a fart in a hurricane in modern America, but sheesh, let the guy grieve a little longer than 2 measly weeks for fucks sake.

That was beautiful and kept me in tears. Thank you for such a wonderful stiry

This have been the best story I’ve read in sometime.

Thank you for such a lovely, tear jerking story. Love, passion and sex, the best.

I'm not crying...you're crying. Jerkface.

Family time at Christmas has always been that way.

. Dad had to work the morning shift so Mom had us up for breakfast, then church and do the house keeping. Dads brother came over and visited while the house was being torn apart and our grand parents had a ball watching the youngest tear through the gifts.

I can't count how many tears that I dropped. Pass a case of Kleenex. A lovely story about two crushed people finding love and s beautiful, precocious little girl.

A sequel, please!

I love an excellent love story, and I am a 63 yr old guy!! This was heartbreaking at the start, then proceeded to get better and better.

The "sleep-over" WAS NOT the best part, the new relationship(s) forged was.

Please, write more!!

This is always going to be my favorite story on here... THANK YOU ...

Hard to read through tears. Seems I’m not the only one who has lost deeply. Thank you again.

One of the best stories I ever read on literotica. You brought tears to ax72 year old man. Just beautiful

Excellent. Well done. A good storry, well told.

And a Happy Life to everyone .10 stars; the Bear approves.

Beautiful story

Thank you for the happy ending, could not of ended any other way, perfect.

Thank you! Cried thru most it because of my own loss over a year ago. Keep writng it was great.

A great story. There is no shelf life on good writing.

Hooked

I loved every moment, brought tears of sadness and also tears of happiness!! Keep at it and thank you so much

You surprised me with the start. Well done

Been a while since iv jerked it with tears in my eyes. Reminds me of Christmas, and no tears aren’t good lube

That's awsome

Just read this for the second time and it STILL has me smiling !!! Life does hand us troubles (seemingly life ending hardships at times), but we need to take our time working through them and yet learning & growing from them. I just hope God brings me a wonderful women to help me put this latest hardship behind me. You are an awesome story teller !!! Keep up the hard work.

A truly well written story, hit hard for me and couldn't stop until I finished it, well done and I'll be checking your other ones as well :)

Touching.

My family used to say "me crying was like trying to draw water from rock". Its all changed since my son was born, not to say I'm a crybaby now or anything but damn any mention of harm coming to kids is poison to me.

Amazing story, 5*

Wow. That was seriously good. I really felt the sense of loss and hopelessness come through. It really made the redemption so much better, especially since the ending was not ridiculously fairy tale but positive enough to ease the sting.

You always deliver a good story. I enjoyed reading this.

That was a good read. Thank you

Wonderful 5*!

Life's pain is what lets us know how the good feels

You really know how to push out buttons. Wonderful.

Thank you,

George

Very powerful and moving. Definitely brought out the tears. Thank you!

With a bitter divorce came a lonely Christmas. My two girls didn’t come to visit & I got three cards. One from an elderly Aunt who lives on the other side of the country, one from a cousin who I haven’t seen for five years as he lives in NZ & one from my 3 dogs, who aren’t allowed to visit as the apartment has a no pets rule. I even cheated with that one as I bought it myself.

Really.

Would give that story a 10 it was very good.

Great story only my fourth time through. It will remain one of my favorites.

No story that is this sexy should be allowed to tug at your heart strings like this one does.

What an extraordinarily well written story with so much plausible content. The sexual encounter was both charmingly erotic and believable. I found the description very pleasantly arousing. Well done, and do write some more.

Lovely story, really liked it.

Not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes.

Well written, well worth 5/5

I really enjoyed this story. You held my interest and tugged at my heartstrings the whole way. I knew how it would end but that didn't put a damper on the story. I loved it and would love to see you write more like this story. Thank you!

I am a sucker for your romantic, sexy, rescue story with a happy outcome that over shadows the tragedy of both families.

Second reading and it still brings tears to my eyes. I just wish I could give it five more stars.

Best story I have ever read. I've read it over a dozen times.

Just as good the second time through.

Hooked

This was fantastic. Thank you.

Damn tear jerk stories! It was a good read - highly recommended!

very well done, Tex!

A recommended read for everyone with a heart.

Always loved a happy ending. Well told.

I literally cried like a baby when Erica was opening her presents. It's so hard to find a good story to read sometimes. The little details matter to me. I really enjoyed this story. I'll be checking out more of your work. Good job. Please keep it up!

Just wanted to say this was an awesome story!

I’m a swinging dick but this story had me crying like a 3rd grade girl ! Men aren’t supposed to weep like that , yet here I am bawling like a baby , and right in front of my wife no less ! The only thing saving my ass is she’s crying even harder than I am , lol ! You are a wonderful storyteller !!! Beautiful yet haunting ! Couldn’t wait to reach the end to put myself out of the misery , yet I had to cling onto every word as if my life depended on it 😭

good one a roller coaster tears of sorrow and joy :)

Crying tears of joy while reading what was ostensibly pornography. What a lovely story; I hope you're duly proud.

So great, just what I needed after losing a family member in July, which I'm not really getting over. Thank you very much, I really mean it.

Wow. I few up in Foster homes. To have someone, anyone treat me like this would just have blown my mind. It made me realize what I have and be grateful for it. Sometimes second chances don't come around

I don’t know if your story comes from a personal perspective but it touched my heart. If so, I’m sorry for your loss. Your descriptions of parents who have lost their children are spot on. I know because I lost my son. This was a totally unexpected story in this forum but a welcome one. Thank you.

This is the 2nd time a lierotica story brought tears to my eyes. I guess I'm just an old softy.

That was a beautiful story. I can honestly say that this was the first story I’ve read on this site that made me cry. So many emotions right now. I can’t imagine the loss of a child. I’m glad they ended up together. Thanks for this story !! And have a merry Christmas!

Given that it's Christmas and I'm separated from my children due to Covid-19 Lockdown this story hit home harder than I expected. Well written. Tears streaming. Wow!

This story is one that is good enough to stand on its own. The sex is incidental rather than the main feature and that makes it work wonderfully well. It’s great that literotica is available to publish such stories.

To cry at Literotica stories but that made it special. Thank you.

I'm only "anonymous" because when I log in, the stupid "security code" will only accept four of six characters, although the all go in as anonymous.

Awe, geez...I started reading Litrotica for the obvious reasons, then the stories all started to read the same. A person can only read something like, "She had perfect DD tits that ate my 12 inch love tool..." so many times before erotica becomes a disgusting trip through someone else's deviant imagination, leaving a feeling of quiet disgust at having wasted 15-30 minutes on blatant depravity.

Then, I decided to explore this site, develop a more refined palate, and look for stories with erotica in them, but not solely for the purpose of said erotica. That search for a more refined read led me here, to this tale...this mini-saga. To your writing. Thank you for making me FEEL, your writing earned my tears. Your writing, your tale...thank you for allowing me to find it through your desire to share your imagination by posting it here.

Thank you for writing something to read that was much more than I hoped for, much more than I expected.

I don't hug, except for family. I don't smile often. I don't let people in. I have few friends. This is me, a stranger, sending you, a virtual hug, a virtual smile, and a small, quiet thank you for sharing this story. It's a big thing for me, hopefully you'll take it kindly.

5 stars!

This is thr third or fourth time I've read this story. I tear up everytime. Well done.

I have a new holiday tradition. Every time Christmas draws near I open Charity Begins at Home and read it again. It never fails to reward.

I am reading it for the 3rd time, still there is some dust got caught in both of my eyes.

This story really made me realised that no matter how bad or how down you feels, there's always someone sonewhere who is having it worst than you. Thank you for such a beautiful story.

best tale with a proven message..... multiplication of 2 negative always give results equal to a greater, multiple times greater positive

Stunning.

Great Christmas story, happiness and tears. No one knows how much a loss of a loved hurts until they experience it themselves, must be something in the air my eyes are leaking.

This is one of these stories that is actually too good for LW. I love this story and I hold it as one of the best ever posted here. TTT was a remarkable writer, and very much missed here.

Great Storey, what a Ride! Sequel???

This has been linked to a number of our stories. We can only wish such popularity. Nice 5* tale from another Tx'an.

I really enjoyed it. Tearful, but sadly true.

Who the hell makes people cry when they come to read erotica?

Damn you.

No, I'm not going to provide any more clues because I think YOU should read it, too! It's actually a beautiful romance, and I'll check for more written by the same author. I will only add that I believe 5 stars is a little low for a story of this caliber.

It was very sad, but you could guess how it.migjt turn out. Still could not put down, and still brought tears to the eyes. Great job

Great story, very sad but I think that's what makes it great.

Loved the story. Poignant and still had a very nice ending.

What a beautiful story! 5 stars and worth reading over!

The extreme sadness only serves to highlight the hapiness at the end of the story. I love how deep this story was. Saying it's amazing doesn't seem to do it justice enough.

Very nice.

Still love it, still year up in spots. Still think it's a five star story.

Just fantastic

Thank you.

This one got to me. Great work

Wow wow wow, just wow. Great touching story!

reading this one, TX! Makes me cry every time! Love it! Great work!

I found this one after reading “The Candyman” by BigGuy33 and learning that TTT had done a story in the same genre. Both are great stories (both with ratings in the 4.8 and above range and I gave both five stars). Both are from authors who generally write cheating wife stories. Interestingly enough (and, yes, I realize this is an erotic fiction site), I thought the sex scenes detracted a little from the overall story. I don’t know. Maybe they felt a little too forced in, as I think the timing would have been far too early after the death of his daughters. But that is a minor nit in the grand scheme of the story.

If you haven’t read it, by all means read “The Candyman”.

It is my first time to read one of your stories, and defiantly won't be the last. the build up was great maybe a little long but it makes sense for the angry sex and btw I didn't saw angry sex much in literotica ,so I was glad to read it. it was good scene but not so erotic for me. the love story was different and I liked it as you didn't made love depended only on sex affair as most of stories sex is important but it is not the only thing in love ,there was also another things great in the story like friendship ,neighborhood , and families relation bonds.

I don't prefer first person perspective as I prefer third person ,but as I said I loved the story. finally sorry for my bad English as it is obvious not my first language.

Beautifully Done!!!

Two injured soul mend each other is sometime necessary to bring out the pain and replace it with happiness and love with alittle help from a precocious young girl
