All Comments on 'Let Him Cry Pt. 01'

I wish I would have had this to read 7 years ago when my wife, the light and love of my life dird

Good stuff. Thank you.

Extremely well written with great character build up. Look forward to more.

This one hits close to home. My wife passed away from Pancreatic Cancer almost 2 years ago. I miss her very much. Thank you for the story.

Well done his pain is palpable, his need to honour his late wife gut wrenchingly real. Great job. I anxiously await the rest.

This is going to be a great story. No idea where its going. 5

Got me hooked.

Excellent start. Well written, believable and poignant. Well done.

One of the best stories on this site.

do not know how to disappoint. My heartfelt thanks for that.

Wow! You weren't kidding when you said you liked flawed characters. I loved the characters and the pace of the story. I liked the build up in several areas of the story and the dialogue between the characters. I hope you enjoyed writing the story as much I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for your time and imagination.

Just wow!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very well written. This story brought up many tears of sadness.

My wife has advanced Alzheimer's. I married her when I was 49 for my first marriage. She is 16 years older than me. I never thought I would get married but I knew right away I was going to marry her and never doubted it for a moment. We just had our 10 year anniversary, and the last 6 have been taking care of her. I figure I have two years at the most before the love of my life dies and this story really brought up the sadness that is always lurking.

Well, I forced myself to wait for all four parts before I started reading. Reading a story for me is like jumping into the sea to swim from one island to another. Once you start, you can’t really stop and rest until you’re finished. So now I’m settled in to immerse myself into Matt’s story. Very moving opening chapters. *****

This is incredible... I'm going to enjoy the next 3 parts..

And you say you haven't written in 10 years? Why?

A moving story. Is he truly flawed, or just momentarily damaged? To me, a flaw implies a certain permanence, like an inclusion in a diamond, but we already see him improving: he's recognized he has a problem and knows it has to be corrected.

Great writing and characters. Looking forward to the rest of the story. Thanks for posting.

I lost my wife of 40 years 1 year ago....................this story is so close to what's left of my life it's scary, I cried when the little girl showed up............Olivia.

You are an amazing writer, keep it up.

While experiencing taking care of my wife while she was dying i felt the dying wife in this story was short sighted about her leaving her husband to protect him???

I would never have left my wife in that situation and I never would just leave my wife as she was dying. The only thought in my mind was to take care of her as long as I could. She eventually died in our bed beside me. That time was taken from him by his wife thinking he would suffer watching her die. What she did was deny him thos last few days or months, well meaning, but wrong. Still a great story and still brings tears to my eyes.

Awesome!

One of the best stories I've ever read. I noted several clauses that were brilliant - 'They started wearing new grooves in the rut of my life.' is one of the best.

Great mix of characters crafting his rise and recovery from mourning. I also love that a new love is floating in the wings, but too early to say which one it may be. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of this, already a favourite story. Great work!

Very good. You created a very damaged man, with a few women I nearby, who are incredibly patient and caring. Only one thing: Julianne Moore is NOT stacked. In Boogie Nights, I’d describe her girls as a bit smaller than ‘pert’. More like cute titties with pointy, bright red nips.

You craft indelible images

and give our emotions a tough workout.

So far, the best story I have read on this site!

A beautiful but sad story! You Sir are a very talented Author. 5 BIG FAT TWINKLY STARS!

Jesus, the video killed me.

Great story that really got to me

Excellent !!!!! I cried when Matt heard the name Oliva too.

A truly beautiful story, well written. The sadness pervades the story like a thick cloud, so much so that I felt absorbed into the whole thing. Really evokes strong memories in me. Loved this one 5 stars...!

This is my third reading and the story still brings tears. No one can understand what this guy or anyone is feeling when they lose someone close to them. The "I'm sorries" from people just don't cut it. The gief attacks come and go. The depression and the what nows are there evryday. So I say when writing to people: "Treasure and care for the ones you love each day, you never know what tomorrow my bring." No matter how you look at it life is short. If live to be 80 you will have lived 29,200 days, that's not really very many, is it? So seize the day and make the most of each one. Still a great story.

I can only imagine that if I were to lose the love of my life—42 years and counting—I would look a lot like Matt. Cherish every day with the ones you love. None of us is guaranteed tomorrow. 5 stars and on to Ch 2.

Sometimes I don't comment on chapters, if I don't know how I'll like the direction the story will go, but this is actually so very well done. Matt is being reborn, paragraph by paragraph. Is heartwarming allowed around here? Let's say yes.

page 6 absolutely broke me

Superb writing. Very occasionally interrupted by a phrase or fragment that does not make sense, in English nor in the idiom of any of the other languages i'm about equally fluent in. Disturbs my sense of being in touch with reality..

Tx for the sharing of your musings and your talents!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great writing, but Matt has an annoying presence to read. I keep hoping Kaitlyn or Ruth will refresh his consussion with a 2 X 4.

Loved it! Very touching!
