All Comments on 'Gloria's Gift'

Wonderful story. I'm not sure how the thought that a woman "belongs" to her love fits with today's thinking. Seems like a thought from years gone by like when my "Lynn" found her sailor. We were together for 47 years and raised 2 kids together. Miss her!

Thanks for the tender love story and reawakening some wonderful memories.

Cheers

Wonder why their little girl wasn't named after Gloria?

Why didn't they name their daughter Gloria?

Many children at some point ask their parents why they were given their names. What would they have said? Gloria had played an important part in their lives. But both of them knew there comes a time when you let the past be exactly that. They had transcended their first relationship and grew it into a successful marriage as Gloria had wished. That was enough.

Would you have seen it differently if you were them? Our children never know everything about our past and most of us prefer they don't.

Maybe I was tired last night or possibly the category it was posted in but I couldn't get into this story. I came back to it this morning and pleased I did. Initially thought it was going to be about polyamory but that was quickly left behind. I wonder if Gloria knew more than the story says and set her friend up deliberately.

Loved it. You're a great writer. 5 stars.
