I Thought She Made You Up Ch. 07

wonderfull story, great ending , thanks

Well done!

I have never made a comment before, but this work deserves praise....well done!

Simply lovely - five stars

Darn it, you made my eyes leak as I read the last page and men are immune to that I think? Well written and a fitting ending to a great love story.

Great

Great ending to a well written series. Well done. Caused this old man's throat to tighten up.

Speechless

A magnificent finish, there aren't enough good words for this series.
Your 'rambling' final chapter was perfect. I've said it before. Any person can write, but it takes a true writer to finish the story. You are a true writer.
Thank you!

Wonderful!!!

A wonderful ending to a very unique tale, well worthy of the five stars I am giving it. This was everything that a winning story should be.

A fine ending -

to a wonderful story. Thank you very much for polishing it and posting it.

wow

Just Wow
one of the best and one of the saddest i have read in a long time

Isn't much to say....

There isn't much to say, you have shared a very fine story

Thank You......

Tears

Anytime a reader finishes a story with tears in their eyes, you (the author) should know that you've done your job better than well. Five stars. Ten if I could.

5 Stars

I have read some truely great stories on this site and I have to say that this one ranks up with the top five. Any time a story can cause the humidity in the air to consolidate below my eyes more than once is a great one. I hope you continue to write stories here.

Aitch'em says:

Absolutely and positively one of the best stories I have read so far in "Literotica": rich prose, good humour and quite a bit of "slice of life". Thank you, qmhl1!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I discovered your work by accident, and I love it! Making my way through all your stories. Please continue the great work.

phew!!

This is a fine chapter to end a wonderful saga.... one of the best stories I ever read!!

Super Love Story...

To me this brings to full circle a wonderfully written love story with three sides and a great conclusion, that two sides were from the wrong side of the tracks just made it all the more pleasureable. The insights and the ethical integrity of Loony (James) at all the major points of the story made me cry as I have always felt the same way. The capacity for compassion and forgiveness is a lesson to us all with a history of others, making me realize that there is clarity which comes in the written word so surprising for another boy from the wrong side of the tracks to see his thoughts as conveyed. While I am not identified as the web is a very public place I do share this thought with you, I am a fan and I am looking forward to more please, there is a lot of you in this story also I am sure so good luck and keep writing my friend...

Heart Warming

A beautiful story, the happy lives of 3 individuals who figured how to make each other happy through the good times and bad. Only wish real life people were so smart, caring and loving of each other. A great story, thank you for the smiles and the tears. Jim

Thank you so much.

'nuff said.

Thanks, loved it.

wow

Amazing work, loved it.

Lovely story, well written, I was there with the characters. Well done!

Fantastic Read

Have to agree with other comment about tears in eyes! You got me when I was reading parts of this story! Really liked line about giving love and it returning multiplied (I know not exact quote)! I will mark this so I can read this story again that's about the highest compliment I can give!

SOAP BOX ALERT I can't believe the commenters on the last chapters from Anon granted the ones so far on this chapter have been respectful but last chapter COMPLETE and total assholes! If your going to attempt to tear a story down at least have the guts to create a name! You may not like Harry in VA but at least there is an ID! I see why so many authors block Anon even IF some do create some good comments still not sure if worth the hassle if I would ever write anything! Glad qhml1 has some thick skin but the last chapter comment about stacking numbers pissed me off!! OBVIOUSLY has not seen any of the rating on other qhml1 stories and if a large number of readers at the time give it a FIVE Stars a few 2 -3 stars would not bring it down much for it to be at 4.7! A simple thought if you don't like poly stories don't read them or better yet if you see it in a story stop at that point! END SAOP BOX

I feel better and still have some left over good feelings from reading this story!
Now have to favorite this author and story!
Thank you for writing and sharing if with me!
So please keep writing so I can keep reading!!!!!!

Wonderful

First off. Ann. WTF. Shut up. No one really cares about you. It's a wonder how anyone ever put up with you.

Now, sorry for that aside; I'm not usually mean like that but I feel that needed to be said. Second, this is a wonderful story. This last chapter broke my heart, but I still gave it a 5. It does need an editor but I felt that taking a full star away for that from such an amazing story would be a disservice. Those who have read my critiques know that I'm usually much more critical with stories (finding improvements) but here that is the only one. Can't wait to read more of your stories.

Great

Great story, loved the love shown, Thank You

Damn Allergies...

Enjoyed the plot and character develpoment, liked the pace of the story; you are one of my favourite authors, up there with DQS, SS06 et al.

5*

Lovely Story

Enjoyed that from end to end. Well developed.

Love it (them)

A very good read. I found it all interesting enough to stay up late to finish each part. Thank you and continue with these gems.

Loved it so much....

Really had a plan to write a bunch of stuff until I realized I couldn't see clearly enough due to the tears. There is so much good in this story that I feel it would be unfair if I could even come up with something negative. Thank you and I applaud your skill.

outstanding

This was a good story it took me two days to read it. I had to stop from the tears for the sad parts. A solid 5*.

Damnit!

Would you PLEASE stop making me cry like some 6 year old? This was an excellent story, far too full of life's ups and downs. One of the BEST bittersweet endings I have ever read. So sorry I can't give more than 5*.

Loved it

It kept my interested from start to finish. Wonderful story!!!

It took 20 minutes...

It took 20 minutes to write this one line of praise for your story because I couldn't stop crying.

maybe

maybe it was not a life everyone would or could live with but they made it
work. good tale without the over the top sex and size thing going on.

Well done

While I favor more detailed sex scenes, this was a great blend of everything including realism. You should consider fattening it up into a real novel or such.

You Did It Again!

Well, another great story. I had to wait to write this comment because of the wetness in my eyes. I'm too old to sob like a little girl, but I am. This was one beautiful story.
I find it hard to believe that writing of this quality can be found on a free site. All I can add is Thank You for your writing. I am in the process of reading all your stories, and they keep getting better and better. Everyone I read, I think is the best story.
Thank You!

Excellent ending

And well done throughout. As one that lived through the 60's "Flower Power" generation, I really liked your love triangle. Growing up 25 minutes outside of San Francisco I know the relationship you described so beautifully in your story existed. A wonderful memory. Thanks.

I had tears

You made me choke up and tear up. I can feel the love these three characters have for each other. You are one of my favorite authors on this site. I'm slowly making progress through all your stories. Your ending was well done. Keep up the great writing

You have done it once again!!!

Every emotion know to man, or woman, has run through me as I read this story, you ARE the BEST... I have to agree with both your English Professor and your Wife... You should be writing professionally... But, I also understand your view on the matter... It would take all the fun out of it... Still, My Kudos go out to you... BRAVO for another one of the best stories that I have read on here, or anywhere else for that matter...

I wish

You had not written an epilogue. Soulmate? I think not.

Another Great Story

Thank you.

Enjoyed

I thought it was a good story written by a very good author. Kudos.

Great saga. Thank you.

That says it all.

Outstanding romance story

Turned out to be quite a tear jerker with Chapter 7. The character James 'Looney' Wilson reminded me of a Staff Sergeant I knew at the end of Vietnam while stationed at Ft. Bragg. Hard to believe a biker from the "wrong" side of town could become an English/Ed PhD. It was equally as hard for me to believe that an English PhD from the "right" side of town could become an enlisted soldier and complete two full combat tours. Service stripes said he was at least 12 years in when we met so I suppose he made the Army his career. I can say that a better small unit tactician I have never met. I am married to an Amy now and I wouldn't trade her for anything else, not even a CeCe. Great story Q

Who says soulmates have to be binary?

Loved the tale. Cried several times.

I loved your story. Cried a lot. Superb.

Fantastic

I couldn't stop reading this marvellous story.
Thanks for sharing. 5+ *

Hi your story was Great hope you do another one for all of us

Great Love Story - Reminds me of a friend who is no longer with us.

This story by the author has a happy ending, although sad, but those of us who live long lives must eventually wear out the heart or other body organs fail and we all must eventually die. The friend that I mention was a 60' love child, hippy or whatever, intelligent and Vietnam veteran who could see that the USA was fighting a war with hands tied behind back getting over 50,000 young men killed in the jungle buy an enemy that would not wear uniforms and hid behind women and children while fighting against the South VN army and our troops. This guy who I will call John got out of marines, got his BS degree and went to med school, got married, had a bunch of children and ended up divorced. John met another much younger divorcee(Mary) with several sons of her own; they married and had a son young enough to be a grandson and then some. I met John and Mary and little man one spring day at a ball game 6 years ago. We, my wife and younger son became fairly close friends with them over the years, had lunches and dinners and I became unofficial uncle to the little one. Any way time passed and something bad happened between them; big fight and Mary killed John. This happened a month ago and I went to family gathering, viewing. I cannot understand how a husband and wife, who renewed their vows last year, could gravitate to this level of hate and despair. I still cannot believe that John is gone and feel much pain due to his absence and to all the family including Mary and little man who have to live and deal with it. The investigation continues and no indictment for the death has been issued. I am not even a mediocre writer but someone could write a novel about this and like the story above, it could be made into a drama/romance movie and make someone rich. You will be missed - R.I.P. my friend, and when my time comes to hook back up with you, I will be happy to renew our friendship.

Almost Speechless

This is simply one of the most beautiful and well written stories I have ever read. Thank you.

Seems almost impossible . . .

. . . to weave such a serious story, with so many profound messages, into such a lighthearted tale. The real climactic scene, with the important truths shouted out so emphatically, was in the office of the new university president. The fact that Jimmy immediately started to set up his retirement, created a beautiful symbolism -- a brave, principled man, having spent his whole life scrambling to get to the top of a mountain, where he could be heard by all, screams out his message of love, personal freedom, and making a positive difference for all those around him, and then, having said it all, calmly walks back down the mountain.

In the end, everybody dies. Certainly not a difficult lesson to understand, is it? But the five principal characters have left little pieces of themselves scattered all around, implanted in the hearts and minds of everybody they've touched. Damned good work, if you can manage it.

I took advantage of the episodic presentation to give this 35 stars! Well worth every one!
