This story is told so well, but I swear it seems like I have read it before. There go those pesky parallel universes again. I am all teared up with your brilliant and sensitive writing. You don't merely deliver facts. You weave a story. Good work. Karen

Oh this is profoundly touching! They knew a love many will never experience. Because of their circumstances, they wasted no time on frivolities, or didn't get busy with other things. They were just dedicated to one another. And I have no doubt they still are.
Thank you for sharing. Julie.

    You're welcome Julie. It's a love story that i remind my adult children to hold on to when they are struggling in the marriage. I ask them to ask their spouse in the midst of strife and struggle the same question Jesus asked Peter three times: "Do you love me?" If the answer is yes, then hope is found.

What an incredible story, Bill. How deeply moving. I am so happy that these two found some joy in those last moments of their lives. It is a powerful testament to what matters.

Wow. That was a powerful and emotionally touching story. I thought you did a wonderful job in sharing their journey together and how their love for each other got them through it. The ending was touching. This is a special story that was very well written.

Oh my, William, I'm crying as I'm writing this review. It's possibly the most beautiful love story I've ever read and a true one. What a beautiful relationship. I'm so glad they were buried next to each other. What a wonderful story. Ulla:)))

    Thanks, Ulla, I am amazed at the reaction to this story. And I didn't add anything to it. These two really got my attention. -Bill

I like how you bring light and hope into this darkness. Her father rushed and knelt in front of Carolyn, looked up at her and, with tears flooding his eyes, said, "Carolyn, we give you two our blessing and pray that whatever time you two have left, that it will be filled with tears, laughter and love.
This is a very touching scene and I almost plays like a movie in our mind and heart. Very poignant.

    Thank you for the review. In fact, I was offered $60K for the rights to this story and I turned it down. The parents gave me permission to tell this story but no one else. =Bill

    I say with my stories the names have been changed to protect the guilty. I'm about changing the name and doing a few more things that would make it fictitious that could be published but like me you're probably not in it for the money even though. Is a lot of money in writing.

A super story that every young adult should read to learn what true, true love is all about.
You are a very good storyteller.
Even with their passing...there was a happy ending.
Thank you.

    Thank you, Gunner. I agree. We don't always learn about this kind of love from our parents. -Bill

If I had a six I would give it to you. This is a well-told tale of love that had a very short time to grow and blossom, but grow it did under the most difficult of circumstances. You did a wonderful job of bringing out their characters.

That's a sweet and heartbreaking story. I'm glad they found comfort and love with each other. I'm glad her family was supportive. This was well-told, compelling and captivating.
