Very sweet story with a good ending. Jeff was rough around the edges, but considering his circumstances, he did far better than many would have done, and Lori turned out to be a great complement to him. Well done.
A simple tale with a happy ending, thank you DG! 5 stars
somewhere east of Omaha
Short statements reading like a diary, but you draw emotions out of me that I didn't know I had. Wonderful romantic story of the loner who gets THE GIRL. 5 Stars for DGHear. Hip, Hip, Hooray.
Great story!
Not quite up to your normal story, it felt almost rote. It lacked your normal details, shading, and gradations.
Excellent story, however.
Jeff is a well-built sexy man who can be very proud that he made something special of himself. I imagine him with a dusting of sexy chest hair that can please Lori.
I liked to story, but I have to agree with the other commentary. Not up your usual standards. Also reads like a 12 year old wrote it. Sorry 3*
Wonderful story! 10 stars are not even close. Lori got a real husband and Jenny got a daddy. Lori needs a big belly, giving the man she loves another baby...
As Jeff said, "He wasn't the smartest cookie in the cookie jar". And as such you told his story as he would have written it in his style. It couldn't have been any other way and still have been his. Thanks!
and you made it sound like a simple guy telling the story
Good story, but someone who has cancer would not be accepted as an organ donor.
As others have said the style of the first person narrator matched perfectly the character of the MC. Genuinely good writing DG
Later comments seem to get it better than earlier ones. The narrator is self-described as not the sharpest - and that's the voice of the story. The emotion is all there, just stated as it would be from this teller. Very well done.
What a sad story. After suffering through a terrible childhood, he spent ten years on his own, then settled for a single mom.
If it had finished with Lori giving him a couple of kids of his own, the ending might have been a bit more positive.
Loved it ! Hit close to home & it been a fairy tale life over forty five yrs & counting
Loved it, It felt real, gritty, tinted with sadness but filled with love by the end. I love your stories.
It's nice to see a story with real working folks doing the best they can despite circumstances and finding love.
Another solid story- well written and enjoyable to read! Thank you for writing!
If you keep writing I will keep reading.
Lori fell in love with after becoming a divorced single mother and now Jeff's raising another man's child. 1-Star
The easiest lecture ever.... Write - write - write! The right words will follow - rich and beautiful!

You really need to get a hold of the "tears in my eyes" thing. Why do all your male MC's cry soo much and for the silliest reasons?
So, this isn't up to your usual standards writing wise, but in a way it actually works. I'm not sure if it was intentional but the tone of the writing clearly fits with Jeff... a bit simple and slow. The whole story feels very Forrest Gump-esque, right down to his relationship with the single mum from. his past. Jeff clearly loves her, but despite rereading this story a number of times, I still cant decide whether she loves him back, or is simply settling for someone reliable that she likes in hopes she one day falls in love. Yeah I know, Im probably a cynic.... 4*
Lori found a baby daddy in Jeff. The skanking cunt was willing to fuck another school teacher while at the conference
