Simply wonderful love story. You hit all the notes perfectly. This one becomes a favorite for me. I will revisit it often. It gives me hope for the future if and when my wife passes before me. Thanks for that.
5 stars
I am currently living the opening to this story. I couldn't get past the first few paragraphs. I'm sorry but this one was too much for me... maybe one day i can read it in its entirety.
A heartwarmingly hopeful and serendipitous story that I’m sure strikes very close to home for many aging survivors of death, divorce, or just loneliness in general. ‘Happy ever after’ is a very nice way to start your day. Thank you very much.
That was a lovely 5* romance. Set me up for a day of working to pay the bills!
Hmmm…filled with typos. I’ve read enough of these stories to know that you intended Jennifer to be half John’s age with 38DDD breasts. 😉 A story about older age mates falling in love is very unlikely on this site, so I must applaud your willingness to write a story filled with hope. Your writing is strong….as usual. The story line just felt right. Thanks!
Wonderfully well-done story! Very well crafted. We all die at one thousand, four hundred and forty minutes the day, and very few of us know when the end will come. The most honest, and loving, way to live is to try to always be ready to fill each moment with truth, joy, and love, for one another.
Thank you, Just_Words. Your words are among the best ever - Five+ Gibbous Stars!
This story was so well-crafted and it flows like melted butter! The tone, the plot, everything took me higher and higher. Thanks! Love it!! 5+++/5!
wonderfully romantic.5⭐
tender, soft, relaxing, comforting, optimistic.
A man and a woman without love for decades.
there is no age to love.
present love or past love, what happiness to be able to love until the last day of our lives.
Too much sex.... no, I don't think so, just the right amount to make the story believable. Loved how things just seemed to flow along smoothly, probably because both John and Jenn were past the age of drama and all the other crap that goes with being young and horny. Five stars only because there aren't more stars to give. Thanks
Bravo-Zulu, truly an enjoying read of what could be (since I'm 2yrs older then John). Yes, we all have wishes, dreams and desires, some are lucky enough to find and live them and many of us do not.

What a nice story! The story itself is sweet and interesting and the characters are likable and well-developed. I particularly enjoy the actual setting, well-described.
Thank you for writing and thank you for sharing your work.
Love this sweet romance, thanks for sharing. It wasn't too syrupy for me, and was nice to see these two connect and enjoy each other.
A wonderful, uplifting seasoned romance. As someone older than John's 65 years, I greatly appreciate your efforts in crafting this story. Thank you! 5 stars!
Another good one. I am also over the 65 mark, have a wife with dementia but she beat depression (thanks to Diazapam) and we're just clicking along. Thanks for sharing.
Just fun throughout. Good back stories. Strong character development. Steady plot. No surprises but relatable people and believable story line. Well done. Thank you.
Lots of typos. Overuse of the term “with that.” People generally don’t talk in long, drawn out paragraphs. Seemed stilted at times as a result. 4*
A story different than the norm here, a good thing! I can relate having just turned 65. Single for 22 years I find women friends and enjoy a simple life. Thank you for a good tale.

This author writes the same story, over, and over, and over. This is at least the third time. And, they never went to dinner.
