I think I have something in my eye! What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing it.
If you get a chance, you may want to correct the following section so it's less confusing:
"No, I think we should celebrate Erin. We all miss her and—well, I think we should all be together."
"I'll be there, Sam."
"Good. I'll see you then. Bye."
I had struggled over the year after Erica's passing. I felt like a part of me died in that accident as well. At my parents' behest, I saw a shrink for a few months after. It helped a bit but my life will never be the same.
I can’t believe I missed that name error. Thanks. Sorry ‘bout that. Thank you all for reading and commenting.
Great story! It has everything love, hartake, drama, disappointments, a young child's innocence and hope. A Bh76 masterpiece. Good luck with the competition but the ultimate winners are usens your fans and readers!
5 stars and a rare (for me) Favorite.
Cheers

This is by far the best story I have ever read on this site, hands down. It’s not remotely close. I hope you win. I actually cried.
I liked it overall but Sam's continued sympathy for Eric pissed me off. I have ended a friendship when he cheated on his wife and left her. I can't comprehend having anything other than animosity towards a rapist.
That was a sour point about Sam and a real downer for the story.
A truly great story ideal for this competition, and this site. Well done. 5 stars.
Ah, for f***k's sake! Damn it, where's the damn tissues. Damn it.
*grumbles*
There they are.
*sniff* *sigh*
5 damn stars. Damn it.
THIS ON IS A WINNER!!! agree with NewOldGuy77 Eric got off way to easy..... Otherwise very good story....
On Page 3 ==> I walked into the living room and saw him holding Erica's photo with his back to me. He wasn't hugging it like I've seen him do before. He seemed to be talking to it.
Erica didn't die in an accident, Erin did. Erin's wedding picture was what Sam was holding.
Excellent story with complete believable characters. You could build a story universe around these people.
I always thought of romance novels as pablum for weak minded ladies missing adventure in their lives...as I sit here crying at this wonderful ending.
One of the best I have read. Like all your stories characters are believable and complex. Keep up the great writing.
been reading stories for years. this IS the best one i've read yet. keep up the GREAT work!!!
A great story. I have been following you from Loving Wives but this is just too good. There aren’t enough stars. Please keep it up.
Very nicely done love story. KUDOS and a big thank you.
garbage. One of the worst I've read here. Flat,emotionless.
And determined to make Eric the villain since the start. He didn't do anything wrong,infact she was the one who opened her legs for him. I don't understand exactly how we're supposed to empathize with her. And then the feminist nonsense about "believe all women". Yeah,tell that to Amber Heard. And speaking from experience,never believe any woman. I keep chat records and proof for crazy women like you.
A really beautiful story, bringing up strong emotions.
It is really difficult for experienced young adults to go without it for extended periods of time so I find that part of the story a bit unrealistic but it still is a beautiful story.
Reading the comments it is clear that you can’t please everyone. I believe this is up there with your best, well written and with enough emotion to keep the reader interested.
I think it was great, albeit a little creepy. A twin getting with the twins husband after she died is a little... Odd. I couldn't really read it after the rape thing, the way she just automatically was like yeah okay all good, was... Not great. Not great at all.
Everything before that was good though, first half was well crafted and pretty cute.
You asked for a review and here it is! We'll start with the spelling and grammar bits. So far, you have a good grasp on spelling and grammar, so there is lottle to gripe about there. Aside from a few flubs that I spotted, it was well written. On the technical side of things, you did well so kudos to you on that!
For the storytelling aspect, I'd say the story itself was good, if a little rushed. You had some good plot points in there, with the sister winding up with the guy and then the accident. The rape of the friend was a little out of left field, but given who it was that did it, I get it. It was also a means of removing him from the tale so as not to lurk in the background, which does work.
The sex scenes were a little sparse on details and a bit on the short side, but I suppose that it works well for those who enjoy short scenes. As I said, this story did feel like it was to be hustled along a bit fast, but the truly tender moments did make me cry, so you've got that going for it!
All in all, an interesting story, and it wasn't trope heavy as I had initially feared. Keep working on your writing and pusbing yourself to become better and before you know it, you will be! Cheers!!
You gotta stop killing off your Characters, lol. Beautiful story! Even the second time around. Dang Bro, I don't think I've given you ever, anything below that BIG 5! 5 BIG FAT FLUFFY HEART SHAPED STARS! How that for a top rating? lol
That was a fantastic story. You did a great job. You had me crying damnit.
5stars
Wonderful and beautiful romantic story. You write it beautifully. Definitely a five star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Erica was stupid in her actions with Eric...just a stupid cunt!! A supposedly intelligent but stupid cunt!!
ERIN WAS A BITCH OF A SISTER!!
Good story however you allowed the rapist Eric to get off so easily and with so little ruin, that's unforgivable
A great story of love and hope. It was very enriching. Keep up the good work. MtM|
After reading this story for the second time, I have to say WOW
I have started reading your Kindle books they are great also.
Well written,, but here and elsewhere on Literotica there are way too many stories in which a problem is resolved by someone being considerate enough to die.
Bh76, you need to learn a basic rule about names and capitalization. Names are capitalized. Even names that are derived from simple nouns are capitalized. Examples:
I love you, Mom. Mom is a name and is capitalized.
Give it to my mom. The word mom is not a name and is not capitalized.
Come here, Cuddles. Cuddles is a name and is capitalized.
Hey, Honey, let’s go to the beach. Honey is a name.
The bees make honey. Not a name.
This was one on the most well written and emotionally charged stories I’ve read on this site. This is an automatic “Favorite”. Reading this made me think about how to find more like this and want to send money to support this effort. I am obviously enthralled and stimulated by this story. Thanks.
Five stars +++++++++++++++++++
Heart wrenching story and very well written. I'm not a writer and every time I read one of your stories I am grateful that you are!
I think she owed it to her husband to come clean about Eric. But a very small nit to pick.
