The story is all there and you've told it with skill, but I feel like I've only had the bones of the story and not the meat. All I know of Debbie is what a wise woman she is. I don't understand Dot either. The day he died? Wow!
I feel like I've been given one potato chip. It's wonderful, it's good. There's no way I can make it better, but I still only have the one chip!
I hope other readers won't take this as a slam to their maturity/
At first, this story seems to be lacking and I am sure it is for some of the younger readers.
I can't really say that I enjoyed this story but it was a complete work for me and brought to mind some not so happy memories. Not because I experienced the devastaion that this couple endured but because of my longievity, I have seen and heard of similer situations.
Unfortunatly, with age comes awareness of a reality that is sometimes hard and sad.
That was a well written retelling of a brief time in these people’s lives. You captured the essence of the ending of one relationship and the beginning of another.
Maybe I'm stupid, but I just couldn't make any sense of this one at all.
