All Comments on 'Mary and Alvin Ch. 06'

Beautiful writing, Melissa.

The sound of footsteps. Of course there were...

That was magnificent. It ended too soon.

I suppose I should be sad, but my overpowering thoughts are that this is such a beautiful way to be remembered by a spouse.

pretty good.

I really like your stories . As this one is long, I'll be back to it soon.

Powerful chapter! You detailed Alvin's story about Bonnie wonderfully, and it careened from tentative, assertive, playful, comfortable, loving and finally to devastating; it ran the entire emotional gamut. So it turned out they started dating in 1989 with "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"? Who would have guessed?

It's clear Angus loves Mary and you pulled at so many heartstrings in this one. A hands-down 5.

It just occurred to me that since they started dating in 1989 and she was 20 then...with her dying @ 35 meant she died in 2004 in the storyline. That means Mary showed up about 7 years later.

Beautiful and sensitively executed, you have a special gift for prying open the human psyche.
