Glen's voice brought me out of my thoughts. "Heaven," he said. "Your body feels like heaven, my love."

*******

We had less time than the doctors thought. Glen degenerated quickly. He was only mobile for another two weeks, but in that time, we ensured that all his affairs were in order. During those last two weeks, we made love a few more times, and when his body didn't allow for that, I used my mouth to bring him a hint of that intimacy. Once he lost most of his mobility, it was only another few weeks under hospice care before Glen was gone.

I mourned him in my own way, but the sensible side of me got right down to business. I threw myself into Hope's Advocate, devoting my finances, my passion, my energy, and my time into helping as many hurting women as I could. I had as many volunteers as I could handle and even hired a few nurses for the clinic we set up. After another ten years of growth, I was ready to hire an assistant, preferably someone I could groom as a replacement. And that's when I met Gina, whose story you may have already heard. It was Gina who eventually created the mess I'm in now, and time will tell if I'm going to bless her or blame her for it. It was Gina who brought Thomas into my life.

I do enjoy the Ginaverse.

That's all I have to sat about that.

Good Romantic Tale

Glen comes over as a wonderful person who shaped Dottie to be just as wonderful.

The initial situation will probably be reversed the remaining chapters. One thing that surprised me was that pastor Glen had acceptance from the women. My experience when I went to make a donation to a women's shelter where my daughter was volunteering was that they were all afraid of me.

OK, you did Glen good. But that part of Dottie's life feels like a sidebar.

Since you accelerated the time line through her entire 20 something years with Glen, I got the feeling it was just a interim phase of her emotional and intellectual life. I got the love and commitment, but since there were no real pithy events described in detail, this phase of her life seems anticlimactic. Which I suspect it will turn out to be. Happy Glen got what he got, but I suspect the next phase will be a deeper and richer experience for Dottie, and her next man?

Well written and much appreciated. Thank You.
