Reading earlier comments, it is certainly a 5* story BUT David is really a weak pathetic character. Amber was married to a wimp. Too wimpy mighty long to act on the IRS and found his balls when Sadie was served.
Wonderful, fantastic story with all the elements to make a great movie.
Contrary to what some anonymous commentators say, grief causes different reactions in people, you ably portrayed one reaction to it, utter despair.
Thank you for a 5 star story.
I agree with one of the comments below, turn this into a script, I'm sure Hallmark would jump all over it. What a fantastic story.
a story with a very human feel to it which engages the reader. you have such a strong storyline/backstory to have everything fall into place just so towards the end all seems to convenient almost lazy way out. might make an interesting project for you to explore the issues that might be raised and how your characters deal with them as their relationship develops.
Read this not long after I first discovered Lit, it remains a great story with great characters, perfect pacing and no waffle. Just perfect. 5⭐️ Ppfzz.
Serious now: get hold of a decent script writer and then an agent. You need it to be optioned
2nd time reading. Just as good as the first and needed just as many tissues. Your story was so real and the characters just jump off the page. Loved it. 10 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊’s
I know your work and it is some of the best on here. How in the hell did I not see this before? Wonderful! It put me in a good frame of mind. Thanks.
What a great story, it warms the heart while reminding that we all should work to give back to those that need a hand.
Thank you for sharing,
Another heartwarming story from you. It reminds us that it is the duty of the haves to give back to the have-nots of society.
All of this author's stories are great and leave you feeling good. I can't believe he quit writing. I can see them not being posted on this site.
Does anybody knowhere he may post other stories? About 4 of these stories are on good reads. But I don't think that's the real author. I just can't see someone with this much talent stopping because they're mad. I can see someone having tragedies in their life or illness, or burnout and stopping. Anyone know the real story behind this author.
@anonymous 11 days ago. If you read the authors biography, you will note that he said that some misbegotten b#$&&$# had stolen his works and sold them on Amazon, and that as a result no further works would ever see the light of day. I hope that individual falls into a shithole and drowns for depriving us of such a gifted writer
This was raw, touching and moving. David feels real, his embarrassment and awkwardness at attention feels real, his grief feels real. Sadie's OCD feels real, her meticulousness feels real, her anxiety and insecurity feels real. It's not even easy, but natural to be compassionate with the characters and cheer them on to find their happiness again.
Thank you for the story.
5 stars. What an emotionally stretching story that leaped over the gamut of complete depression and loss to joyful love and hope for the future. Thank you!
I just this again, again. I don't know how many times, now, but I keep coming back to it. And I keep ending up with tears in my eyes multiple times. 70 year old men aren't supposed to cry, but I do.
I know you have stopped writing (at least here). I hope you are writing for profit, now. I also hope you check on your comments here once in a while. I just want to share my thanks (again). Fair winds and following seas to you. My hope for you is that you find that which you truly seek.
When I first started this story, I abandoned it. I didn't like it. Several times afterward I did the same. Finally today, I gave it another try and continued reading the story. I became engrossed and really appreciated the story.
Five very solid stars, for this unique wrinkle of the soup kitchen volunteer trope. Again, five stars.
JPB NOT BOB
