Fabulous story!

I read this several years ago and just happened upon it again. It was just as wonderful as I remembered. A great love story. Five stars!

So amazing and romantic, really loved it. Thx for sharing your gift of a great story :)

I really enjoyed this story. Wish I could find more along these lines!

Why did that make me cry so much!!! Please please please do some sort of follow up on this story!!! This was by far one of the best stories I've read on this site. I get that it's a story, but damn I was heartbroken in a way when I finished. What an incredible story!!! Thank you for that

Omg I need to know more!!!! Please write more about this sweet couple!!!

David,

I think I’ve read this story 30 or more times since I first found it. The piece just resonates with me. And each time as I read it again, I wish there was more. It’s “like a movie, it’s like a song!” And I can’t get it out of my head.

What I like about your stories, is that you seem to write from experience. I know some of the places and things that you present to us are actual. Just makes me feel like I’m there. So, thank-you for sharing with us. And me. Please, please, PLEASE keep writing! You have such a gift.

This was my 2nd time reading this story, and I loved it more the 2nd time through. I did not cry as much as I did the first time I read it. You are a fantastic writer. I felt like I knew these 2 characters, and I was rooting for them the whole time. This was a sad HEA story and I mean that in a good way. This has become my all time favorite story on this site. I have asked before and I'm going to ask again, @DavidPatrick, please, please, please write a follow up story for these 2 characters. I know HEA stories aren't exactly your thing, but this story deserves so much more. Please consider this request, and above all, please keep writing!!! You are amazing!!!

Loved the story, simply wished there wasn’t a focus on James wanting to “correct” the way Luke talked. “Ain’t” is a word and frankly, as someone who uses it with AAVE, it’s insulting to see it referenced as incorrect.

A proper good read. Just truly a great story . What happens next?

I love love love love love love ❤️❤️❤️ this story!!! I especially love that James is autistic (it takes one to know one 😂). And I completely related to his journey. I also appreciated that he truly loved his wife and didn’t dishonor her memory. James’ life is a true testament that love is love.

The story kept popping up for me but I never got past their first trip to Belton. I’m sure I was heartbroken for Luke (I didn’t understand the emotion at the time). I never processed the title so I didn’t realize it was the story I never finished until I after I started reading. I’m SOOOOO GLAD I finally finished. Thank you for sharing this story with us. My heart is full.

You’re also a good writer.

OH. MY. GOD.

This is one of the most amazing love stories I've ever read. If I could give it 10 stars I would. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Make sure you read “A Tale as Old as Time”, as well as all his other works.

I can not tell you how many times I have come back to re-read this story. The fact I found it simply in passing was amazing, like something pulled me to this story. I keep drawn back. It doesn't hurt that it takes place in the Kansas City area where I'm from. The poignancy of this story. It's elegant, classy and timeless. There aren't enough stars to give to this story. After reading the ending (every time) I wish there was more or a sequel. Bless you for sharing this with us.

I have read this story so many times over the years, and never tire of it. The way that Luke developed and came out of his shell as did Jimmy was just so well written and so well put together it is clearly a classic, it is the number-one story for me on this platform. I understand why you may not have written a sequel to this, you have left it up to us in our minds to write the sequel. For me after completing a couple periods of enlistment and them spending every moment off base they could together Luke comes back proven to himself that he’s more, much more than his parents thought of him, but now believing that he is the man James always saw in him, they build a life together happy in each other, finding the love that they have that fills them completely. Thank you David for writing such a great story, thank you.

This story is wonderful - thank you!

This is about love lost and love found. It was simply beautiful. Thank you.

Now that is a live story! Awesome

One true measure of a story is if it attracts the reader back for a second or third reading.

This story fits that description. I is so heart-warming, kind, and full of love, that it is almost an 'immortal' story.

I wonder: have you written or considered writting a sequel? When 'Guppy' gets out of the service?

What a beautiful, beautiful story! Thank you.

This turned out to be such a lovely story. I would love to read the sequel.

Please Wait For Me is such a sweet tease. I wish you would continue Luke and James’ story. Did Luke survive and come back to his Jimmy?

So beautiful! Thank you.

Fantastic I would like to see a sequel

Beautiful. Thank you so much.

Wow. Well done.

yup, I too am wishing for a follow up. please!!!!!! I am begging.

David Patrick. This was epic and you sir are a Giant,...
