I could only give it a 4, Janet should have been there as well at the end....
An affectingly sweet and poignant life affirming love story. Thank you.
I’s not always about ultra physical sex, cheating, and revenge...
What a great story. That both George and Bill came for her made the story. Great one. Thanks.
You painted the characters beautifully and told a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing. 5*
First, great story. Five stars.
I have to laugh because the story title had me concerned. But I took a breath and just trust JW had put the story in the correct category.
I understand the concerns of those who thought Janet should have been there at the end. However, I think the author got it right leaving her out. Harry was not married to Janet and surely not they were not great loves to each other. Harry was escorted to the light by her two husbands who predeceased her. It's a lovely thought.
Using the author's imagery, I would like to believe Janet was there to escort Bill to the light and sent him to go with George to get Harry when it was time. Now the question is who escorted Janet and George?
I also like to think that Janet was waiting on the other side to welcome them all and to thank Harry for taking care of her husband.
Of course, this is Literotica, so some here will want them to have a 4-way on the other side, but that's another story and not one I plan to write.
Heartwarming and beautifully told story. Definitely a five star effort! Thank you
All I can say is that this was a lovely, compassionate story. It is so nice to read a story about what 'True Love' is all about. Thank you for waking-up my emotions this morning...and for a True Love story.
Not much to say about this that your other commentators haven't said already. The ending is a little off the wall, but the symbolism made sense. A really nice, tender tale. 5*
Very Personal
Well written and thought provoking.
Ditto, again, on the leakage.
One of the best. 5+
Very good, at the end I think it would have been better if it was George and Bill and Janet. just my thoughts. it did bring tears to my eyes.
This old retired Army sergeant has to admit to tearing up, just a little. Thanks for a plausible and romantic seniors’ tale.
No one reading this story has been in the same place as Harry so no one should criticize the ending. We just don’t know what will happen or who, if anyone, will be escorting to the other side.
The end gets to you, especially if the reader is close in age to the protagonists. However, where is the sense in using "statistical proof" about the superiority of a group of people over another group of people. The story is about to people, close in age, of the opposite sex. So even if was true that the group of all females is more disciplined in average than the group consisting all males, it might still be not true for the males and females of the age and social backgrounds of the heroes of this story. AND for most if not all character traits, intelligence and so on, the observable differences between INDIVIDUALS, regardless of gender/sex, social background, place of birth and age are much more pronounced than the statistical differences between large groups. So all in all, even if we have a male and a female in this story, it could easily be the male who is more disciplined and the female could be messy or a brilliant engineer.
But many authors go that path, they use generalizing statistical data, not all of them true, to characterize and appraise INDIVIDUALS. I don't know if it's done mindlessly or if some one or other actively propagates the sexist agenda of some certain fascistoid misandrists...
@Anonymous, there is no gender-specific social agenda intended in this story. I gave the woman the nickname Harry because I wanted her to seem no-nonsense and approachable. That's all. I thought it was cute.
I don’t understand, why wouldn’t Bill be with Janet when he died? Why does Harry get both husbands?
@Anonymous, it has been suggested that Janet should be there, too. I figure they are there to escort Harry and assure her that all is well more than continue their marriage.
An absolutely lovely story. Thank you for offering it. I wept unashamedly at the end.
Sweet. Such a lovely story. Very heart warming. Reading it made my Sunday start off with big smile. Thank-you for your writing talent.
Agreed, a lovely, heart-warming vignette. Thank you for this moving word picture show.
Thank you for a true love story of normal people and not sex crazed youth. I'm still crying, but happy for Harry that the two loves of her life met her to come for her to the next life. Thank you again. This was a gentle story. I needed gentle story. You gave me that today.
A wonderful, wonderful story. One of the best I have ever read. It’s nice to see a true romance story for the ages.
An amazingly touching, loving and so very beautiful story of deep heartfelt romance l!
We are both sooooo misty with hearts a flutter and dreaming of our sunset time ahead of is with renewed wants and desire ❤️❤️
Thank you for reaching out to us with caring meaning in our lives together.

Very, very, very tiny point of order: there should have been another wife on BIll’s other arm.
Still a 50 star story.
Just a beautiful story very well written and full of love. Thank you for sharing this. BardnotBard
