Valentines Day Dinner

Fun Read.

Thanks for the stories you give us.

Thanks

A great heartwarming .

very nice, I am widowed for a year, my wife fought cancer for over nine years

I am raising two early teenagers by myself. Any female I have an interest in is evaluated by both of my kids. They haven't vested anyone yet but want me to find them a stepmom and me a life partner. I can relate to this from real life. But no historic girlfriends will be walking in the door.

Wonderful

As Always...
Hope all is well with you and yours!

Truly a pleasant read.

DGH, another terrific story from your keyboard. I always enjoy your Romantic Realism writing style. Touching and funny and personable.

Truly a very nice tale.

So different from the usual tripe posted in Literotica. Thanks!

Again why I read on this site

This is why I read on this site. Granted you have to search through a lot of dirt even if you select the best spots. Sometime you will find something good and on a rare time valuable. A story that makes you feel good. Glad to find this story with so much depth and feeling. Of course DG Hear is generally good so no real surprise : ).
Thank you for writing and sharing. I appreciate your effort. Please keep writing and I will keep reading!!

Heartwarming

There still is love, even though it took many years to come to fruition. Dad and his late wife did a good job of bringing up their daughters and it's nice that Sherry and Kerry get along well with Julie, just like their Dad. This story brought a happy smile to my face.

After reading the five previous comments, I realized that the only thing I can add is "what's next" ???

Your Stories Are Like Fine Wine*****

So Damn Good!!! Thanks for sharing

Thank you...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

sniffle, sniffle

and where is the tissue?

well written.
thank you

Great!

Thanks for sharing.

Cute story but the girls meddled too much for my taste. I understand the love they have for each other and them looking out for David is why he let them get away with quite a bit.

It's a sweet tale but nothing to make me care about the characters. There's a distinct lack of scene setting, of description, of atmosphere in every scene. All a bit flat.
(It doesn't appear to have been edited either.)
Good luck.

I think it should have been Romance Category

But, either way, a worthy read.
I would have liked a little more tension. Everything fell into place just a little too predictably, and 'perfectly'.
My thought would have been that the daughters pick a woman. Mayby a friend's single mother. They like the idea of being closer to to this girl and becoming 'sisters' with her. But the forced set-up doesn't work. Maybe this woman, is nice and pleasant, but has different philosphies about marriage, and/or religion. Really DG, you wouldn't have to get too deep here, but just establish the difference. Anyway, Julie can still show up as the mystery teacher, and our narrator is immediately captivated. But since her divorce, she is really having a problem with trust issues. Meanwhile, may be there is some jealosy between the two lady-rivals, and that gets Julie thinking that she just might lose out, unaware, about the problems already established. Perhaps even, the daughters try to poison the communication, and our bachelor hero has to take a stand on being the parent, and telling the girls to stay out of it. After much work and communication (with EXCELLENT supporting dialogue), true love triumphs and Julie and our hero end up together.
See, the same story, but just with more meat on the bones, and a few added twists and turns which would add some scenery for the enjoyment of the ride.

But, what doesn't change, is that even bare-bones, it is still great to read a story from you, and to know that you are still contributing. Thank you very much. Maybe you'll get inspired to give us a little more next time. Can't wait.........

Fine Romantic Love Story

It is good to see you still turning out feel good stories! The twins were delightful.

Nice Romance

A nice, short romance about believable people even the girls. As any dad with daughters knows, there is nothing they like more than meddling in their parents lives, especially in the case of a single parent.

OK Story

Really needed an Editor.

Pretty linear story with no bumps in the road. If the girls are going to meddle, maybe they should screw it up a little before we have the happy ending. Tension is good for any story. Makes you care about the characters.

DG, "too" is not "to" - otherwise well done.

I read your stories as first-person accounts written by a diarist, not a professional fiction writer. As-such, character development is often given as sparse facts:
Brad, Julie, Mrs. Abromowitz's dog which always tried to bite me.
Brad's last name? Unimportant. He's every guy in Elementary School.
Julie's physical description? Heritage? Breast size? Unimportant, she's *that girl* which got away.
The dog, could be a Rottweiler or a Pekinese, it matters not.
Your gift is putting each of us, as the first-person narrator. Just fix those to too many to by two.

Nobody writes romance like DG

We got a DG story and a Q story the same day! Double treat for lit today.

Great Story by DGH . loved the whole thing. it was emotional and of course Romantic. Thank You

Very nice feel good story

Short but sweet. Very well done, just as one would expect from DGH.

Another good one.

Short, thus tight and succint.
Thanks, DG H.

A little too sweet for my tastes. I agree that it should have gone in romance. There's not a lot of action here. The ending is heartwarming, but I feel like that warmth would have went a lot farther after an icy bath in the pool of conflict.

Nice story

Definitely belongs in the Romance category.

anice little love story

of two old friends finding each other...the twins did a good job bringing them together but it would have pissed me off too with her telling the twins she was pregnant before their dad....just not right.....my bitch of an ex did that to me when she told her good friend first she was pregnant before telling me........still pisses me off she did that....
