All Comments on 'Love, True Love'

And too much truth in it!

My beloved is in Peru right now taking care of her 100 year old father!

This story reminds me somewhat of "The Notebook" on a smaller, more personal scale.

Well told!

Having grown up in what Johnny Carson used to call "Gods waiting room", I have seen this terrible diseases effects countless times. It is heartbreaking.

You story did a great job of portraying that sadness and at the same time painting a beautiful picture of love in its first bloom.

Excellent story.

How do you do that?

Once again, you write a phenomenonally touching story.

Priceless.

a great love story

woes. And a great mind ravaged by time. Wonderful story, I loved the romance and the twist.

I am told by my friend and other half that crying is a plausible emotion not totally captived by gender. This story demonstrated that as well as your growing talent.

You are becoming a formidable presence here and proof positive that this site can be a place for quite remarkable work.

Author - you are appreciated - more please at interval - With High Regard

I will never get over how someone so young as you can feel the values of two generations before you. As far as English being your second language, that’s unreal.

You still know how to make your words and characters come alive in my mind.

I still love your “Christmas Alone” as it is a marker of what real talent you have.

Thank you for a very nice story.

Great story as always. It was well told and had just the right touch of pain to make it real. I also have a Grandmother in that condition and it's impossibly hard to deal with. I like that he was told how her condition improves when he's around, even though she doesn't remember him. It gives a some happiness to a no-win situation that most of us have to endure (either as children or when we get older and become like her). Keep it up.

good description and you bring out the poignancy of the story very well...

A very powerful story of love. You have a gift, thanks.

I just wish I had visited more

I enjoyed the story very much. I wish I'd been as close to my mom when she died two years ago.

I'm glad I read it first. I got a feel for his writing and understood that he writes twist and with more feeling than I normally expect on this site.

This story hurt to read, but it made me feel good at the same time. Thanks

Damn you, you are going to get me in trouble. I'm on duty and crying like a baby. Without a doubt the most touching story I have read on this site. Now I am faced with the difficult decision of dropping one of my favorite stories on my profile to add yours. I loved it!!!

I thought I would re-read all of Joesephus' stories. This was the perfect beginning.

that Josephus is no longer with us.... and yet every single letter in all of his stories was a molding of his very thought, of his very own self.....

I felt sad for the situation of the

grandma and the whole family for the string

of unhappy events and am amazed by their strength.

I am also sad for the loss of Josephus at the start

of his career.

This story was truely amazing and one of the most touching stories i have ever read. I am in my college cafeteria and cant stop crying, it is so sad to knw that such a great author and person is no longer with us. I sincerely hope that his family is at peace now and overcome some of their sadness, for his stories really have touched our hearts.

Great story

this is too tragic.. the real life and the story

Very beautiful story, but the ending part after the grandmother finished talking is a little bit long winded. It would have been much nicer if you kept it short and sweet. Other than that its just fine.

I cried from the moment the old lady rebooted her memory. It was a little harder to finish like that... Five stars!

After reading the last story I took the author to task over his verbosity; this one more than makes up for it. I have been in this situation and know exactly how he feels; I doubt however if I could express myself as well, congratulations.

Wonderful story.

For those readers who don't know... Edna Gladney is a real organization giving the gift of children to those unable to have them. My late wife and I adopted Jacob from them, 38 years ago and I thank the universe every day.

While I am mostly pro choice I think both sides should join together to fund more programs to reduce the need for abortion by supporting mothers so that instead of killing their child that they should support them to allow a future adoption.

Beautiful, beautiful story! So sweet! Someday she will go to be with her Coach. He's been waiting patiently for her.

Beautiful story.

I last read this story 15 years ago. I still enjoy it and wish he was still alive and writing!
