Best story on Literotica. I hope you've posted it in other places as well

Are we all agreed that this story is capable enuf to make a stand out movie script? Preferably not a Hallmark presentation...?

To improve upon this potential prize winning movie script we could possibly have another famous Literotica work tie up (as a prequel) with this tale and have Alex and Denise from here be replaced by Jim and Linda from "February Sucks"!

As the prequel transitions into this sequel in the composite movie adaptation, we'd have Jim and Linda separated amicably, coparenting their two kids, and moving onwards towards a reconcilated marriage, the sort evidenced in a majority of the Feb Suks versions (goes without saying the Eric character in this story will need to be dropped).

And then during that short separation between them and just before their inevitable (post-Christmas) reconciliation, Linda and their children and probably Dee while on their way to visit Jim would have that inevitable accident from this plot. Things'd then progress into the preliminary tragedy of this story.

Any takers before i myself step in and try and possibly have a dismal go at penning this composite movie script?

Touching, been there and enjoyed your version of a way to work through the struggle. Maybe in life it doesn’t happen as quick but I can relate to dealing with the “Laziness of grief,” CS Lewis; with hard work helping others and sex.

Really beautiful story.

Really takes you through the depths of human emotions, great character development. An easy 5 ⭐️

I’ve read this more than a dozen times and every time it’s hits so hard. The feelings this generates is something else.

Exceptional

ya, not cryin

good story, life is implacably uncaring about your troubles and issues etc. Not everyone makes it back to their feet, much less continue the good fight and thrive, finding love, family and happiness.

Awesome!! Both love this story and sit here with tears in eyes. I may be a grizzled old asshole but reading this story cuts deep, bringing back memories of losing a sweet little 4-year-old granddaughter. She would be in her mid 20's now but this story still evokes memories - both good and bad ........

5 stars....every time I reread it!

Excellent story, great character development with a very realistic story line.

I seem to have some alleges, my eyes keep watering.

Tear jerker!

Always expect top notch stories from TTT. You continue to exceed. ^5*

What to say?!?!?!

A unique work, where the main plot of the loss of loved ones in stupid ways, taking the protagonists to the bottom, is flowered with attitudes of caring for true friends and which ends with the three becoming a happy family, once again.

The graphic sex, added to the passion that grew between Alex and Sandy and Erica's speech, was something that closed the text in a glorious way.

It's one of my favorite stories and one of the few I've given 5 stars.

The author manages to shake our emotions.

But that's just my opinion.

Goddamit! The Christmas morning speech by Erica actually brought me to sobs! Never since the death of Nancy in OLIVER TWIST have I bawled openly - and that was 45 years ago.

Damn you!

Superb!

A great love story that was all most lessened by the sex. The fact that they turned to each other after being lost for so long wasn't a surprise. They experienced the loss of loved ones which made them vulnerable to the need for nearness of another suffering the same emotions. There may have been "facts" that wouldn't happen but this was a really well told tale of love and life.

You Did a Great job on this Story . I have lost 3 relatives to Suicide . Yes this Story brought tears to an ex Army guy

Interesting concept. Erica would have received Social Security from her deceased parent. Family services would have contacted Sandy about Erica being home alone, but I know -- authors license .

Great story.....

I'm still crying ......

and laughing ....

and cheering ....

and crying again ...

Thankyou .....

WAUW !

Great tear-jerker. Just a little critique: A child Erica's age would not be left alone for lengths of time as implied by what Cathy said. "Someone" would have informed child protective services, which would have created a whole new set of problems.

Then the commode that kept running water, probably for days, again that being implied. The water bill would have been astronomical. I know because I have a basement commode that I used a while back and didn't make sure the water stopped running into the tank. The water kept running all night until I was going out the next morning and heard the water running. For some reason the flapper got cocked a little and didn't seal so the water just kept running. My water and sewage bill combined is usually about $46.00 a month. However, my next water/sewage bill was $110.00.

I'm afraid I see little things like that.

But overall, the story was beautiful.

I came to this site to read some casual smut. Then I found your story that made me, a grown man, cry. Well written and well done.

You made me cry damnit.

I am 82 years old, old eyes have seen more than they should have but you made me cry, you prick!

Nice tale and well told, it moved well and with deep emotion. now my personal comments, Do you have any idea how messed up it is for a 60yr old rough and tumble oil field worker to sit here and cry? thats messed up and im thanking you for it.

You made me cry, from beginning to end, I loved your story.

Almost made me cry

You done it again. Might be somethin' good about Texas after all.

Very sweet and tender. Heart touching.

Beautiful, heart warming, and all that sappy stuff. Thank you

Teared up reading this one.Glad to have stumbled across it. Thanks for a great story!

I am a long time Literotica reader and had read this story in the past but forgot how to find it. I have a book now and this has been added to my Christmas story list joining tales by DG Hear, Randi, jack_straw, Words and qhml1. Thank you Tx Tall Tales for this and other stories (hoping for more to come). I have not lost any children but my father died Christmas eve 2016.

somewhere east of Omaha

Man this shit had me in tears almost the whole way through. Good job

brilliant. what a lovely story. AAAAAA++++++

Absolutely excellent - just the right amount of pathos, and beautifully written. Many thanks indeed!!

I read halfway down page one and found everybody dead. No thanks, there,s enough misery in the world without the author adding to it and then you would have to start a new story which could have begun without all the misery

I consider myself to be the most jaded cynical person on earth and I am a mess right now. I can't stop crying, I want to thank you for breaking down the walls I put up when my parents passed. I never dealt with their death. I hope my wife doesn't see me like this, her big man balling like a baby. So well written. I am glad I read this story and at the same time wish I hadn't, it ripped my guts out.

Im 6'4" and 275 pounds and I cried like a little girl

A sad and beautiful story

Omg i was crying by the end. This touched me so much. Thank you. Love it!!!

Beautifully written story, I loved it all the way.

The best story on this site so far 🌌

Very good in my mind i give you 100 star rating my heart is still aching

Just WOW!!!!

A pleasant, sad piece of life. Very good.

(FYI: Christmas cacti don’t have spines.)

I gave it five stars.

I cried like a baby.

I have tears in my eyes and a smile on my face..... Just beautiful !!!

one of the best works of literotica

So many readings, still a fevarite on this site! 👍

This story is why I am a frequent visitor to this site.

I have tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. Just beautiful.

Wow. Beautiful story. It had me in tears and sobbing throughout.

Amazing! It made me hard and tear up at the same time!

Most beautiful story I've read on literotica. The relatable story got me from the beginning and had me hooked to the very end. The porn was a welcome icing on the cake for this beautifully written story.

wow what a powerfull and beautiful story it brought me to tears and had me smiling great read

It's a great story, but it's also a hard story to read. Having grown children and grandchildren, the thought of their lives being cut short just hits too close to home.

As a fully grown man, I balled through most of this story. When he was so depressed after the accident, I could relate to a degree as my ex had moved 3 states away with our children and I missed them so bad I was just living in my own dark hole. Luckily, I too had a neighbor who just wouldn't let me hide.

No criticism, it truly was a story I felt in my heart!

Sir you made my heart feel good about Christmas for a day anyway, My mother left my house on the 27th of December after our family Christmas. I should have been paying attention to how she had been all day withdrawn quiet and was almost 1st to leave THAT NEVER HAPPENED b4, she drove 3 miles to her apartment let her dog out of her car, but never got out herself, thank you for this story. Chivalry and selflessness are still possible.

Touching. I have wet eyes.

Yes, I enjoyed it. And hope to read many more like it. Excellent end.

Emotional in all directions. I loved it. It touched all my emotions at the appropriate times. Well done.

Spelling and grammar mistakes happen. I notice them as well, but unless they make the tale incomprehensible then I overlook them. Why? Because the story is what matters. The sex is great, but porn is available for free. The story and characters are what make this worth reading. I'm not going to let a missing letter "e" ruin a great and relatable story. I lost someone very young to cancer and can relate with the emotions, the hurt, the depression. This is very well written and well worth reading. 5* without hesitation.

By the way, Anon, you also start sentences with a capital letter. Kids in grade one know this.

breath is a noun. to breathe is a verb. kids in grade nine know this. 1 star

Second time reading, you have a way of evoking emotions that make grown men cry with joy and sorrow. A beautifully crafted story of surviving a deep loss, one a parent should never have to endure but we do and eventually life does go on. Thank you.

Dang you! You made me cry.

Then you made it better.

Thanks for sharing. 5* Slainté

What a beautiful story! Still crying.....

I laughed and then I cried and the I laughed again .......

😊 😓😊😓 😊😓 😊 😓😊 ......

You made me cry, several times, Tx. 5 stars!!

3rd time through for me. Damn, boy's aren't supposed to cry. Maybe the best story I have ever seen on this site. The pain and sense of loss these 2 horribly broken people experience is absolutely palpable. Wonder if anything else txtalltales produces can rise to this level. It's almost like a Hallmark movie channel tearjerker with a very hotsex scene.

You spin a good story, mister! I had tears running down my eyes most of the way through it. Sparse on words, but long on emotions. I love the 'good noisy neighbor's persistence' in prodding the mc to get off his duff and move on.

Loved this story, second time reading it.

I'm a sucker for a 'happy ever after' story. Thanks.

Wonderful story. I am reading it for the second time and it still brought the tears.

Loved this story. Have read it at least 4 or5 times. Have tears every time I read it.

Third time reading this...can't stay away.

Fuck.... I'm crying... 5/5

I truely enjoyed that story.

However you did not let us know how Denise's parents reacted to the new family. I would like to think they took little Erica to heart and loved her as much as their two lost angels.

very nice story . Still some good souls out there

Superb X-mas story.

Just loved it.

Keep writing

EXCELLENT

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story, tears of sadness from the beginning followed by tears of joy, if only some of the problems of life could end in such a pleasant way.

Five stars only because that is the maximum available on the site.

Incredible Story. In the beginning I was like wow the author is really kicking us readers with all theses emotions and deaths. While the story is still bitter sweet it was excellently crafted, heart-felt, and true to real emotions. The anger and pain was so evident in their visceral sex. Thanks for this story. 5/5

Sweet story; just a little cheesy; but nicely done. Five stars ⭐️ for this one.

Lovely story, tears of sadness, tears of joy. A happy ending always gives me a warm feeling and I can assure you I am sweating.

Lot of gut punches on a par with the last Harry Dresden. Been through some of this myself. Beautiful, I love happy endings. Too few of them in real life.

I loved the story. Thanks for sharing it,

There's a lot erotica here, this one's one of few delivering on the "lit" prefix. Since my child was born, I'm subject to being a bit sensitive to such tragedies and shed a tear or thirteen as well. And I've read it before, last

Personally, I think the author is wasting his time writing short stories here. I think he'd do fine elsewhere, where his writing skills would be more appreciated (by number of readers) or monetizable. I didn't write that before, but I think the writing skills stick out from other good stories here. 166 "Works" here, all rated above 4, most are well above 4.6...

Speaks for itself, I guess.

I was crying throughout the whole story. Even the sex. The whole thing was emotional.

I wish this site had emojis for comments, because there are several that are recent comments that I would mark as agreeing with them. You are one of my favorite authors on this site! I didn't find this story to be erotic, but it was very moving emotionally. I'm an old man and I was just about bawling in my chair reading this. It is excellent!

A heart warming little tale. I must be getting soft in my old age but I loved it.

LA

I had to cut up an onion , and get a new box of Kleenex because of you !

Very touching story ! Thnx !

My little girl died 5 days before christmas. It was my holiday but my ex swapped me for thanksgiving. You captured the aftermath pretty closely, still waiting on my happy ever after though.

5 stars.

There's always light at the end of the tunnel. Definitely a 5 star 💫🌟💫🌟💫🌟💫🌟💫🌟 ratings.

They say "in every dark cloud there is a silver lining" Its just life and how you face it that counts as your future.

5/5!!!!!!! Great story!!!!

Lovely

This is an amazing story!!

A heartbreaking story with a sweet ending. I miss coming in the door saying "hi honey, I'm home". I've lost track of how many times I've come back to read this. Life can be unfair. My ex and I had to bury one of our sons so that loss is hard to get past. The ending of this gives me hope I will someday find someone again.
