This story actually made me cry. Life is never to be taken for granted.
What the story means love doesn't always end with happily ever after. Even though we wish it did. I love it. At least she has a great memory of him.
upon reading that there was supposed to be a dedication i understand the story greatly and think it is one of the better ones i have seen more more more please
Too many friends of mine are firemen for me to take line-of-duty deaths lightly. This story was dedicated to the firefighter heroes who perished helping others, especially those on 9-11-2001 and the dedication got omitted, my bad. Had the story ended with 'it was all a dream' it would've cheated the reader; if it concluded with 'and they screwed happily ever after' that would've been unrealistic. In real life people die every day, a sad fact.
Although Melissa didn't want it to end this way, Darryl would not have had it any other.
Loved it til the ending... Line of duty deaths for firefighters is NOTHING to take lightly...and I'm shocked anyone would ever put this in a story, especially on a site like this.
gave the story five stars but do hope there is a happy ending hee someplace
It was a really good story until the ending. I'm like the other person who posted, please let it be a dream.
Gave you five stars for the so not in the holiday spirit ending. Bold to do that with a holiday story. Hope she's having a bad dream or pregnant. What do you think?
