You have great author notes that helped me to be updated with your storyline-your words and description are superb-you paint a picture of this young woman and how she overcomed cancer-great job.

Interesting,real,great dialog, real and down to earth. I liked the smoothness of adding her throughts and the great detail of the dog. Your writing is always true.

This was such a great story. This had my interest from beginning to end. The ending was different from what I expected. I loved how your characters interacted and the dialogue between them flowed so smoothly. This is a wonderful message to survivors, my Dad didn't make it. I like how it showed it's OK not to be perfect, just to be healthy and grateful for that. I enjoyed this very much.

This is a wonderful story. Because I have been the proud owner of both Newfoundland and a Great Pyrenees, you really did have me laughing at the herding encounter. That aside you are an amazing story teller. I could read a book written by you and I am fussy. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed this read, nicely written with a good flow.
Good story line, I feel sure this situation happens fairly frequently. How sad. One wonders at the maturity of a
partner who would leave a marriage under these circumstances.

    Thank you for the kind words. I have a feeling maturity has a lot to do with it, but some people are just really selfish. I am not sure why you gave me a 4. Please tell what to correct.

    Hi Barbara:
    There was nothing specifically wrong with your work. Just didn't quite feel it was a five star.

Beautiful story, could actually be a novel. This is reality for so many and great therapy for you. Well done. I've never owned a pryre but I've seen them will visiting parks and they are absolutely adorable.

I thought this was well written. The characters come across very intimately and the dialog sounds realistic and seems consistent with the characters. I am glad to hear you are coping well with the chemo, it knocked my wife for a loop.

    It does me some days. Yesterday was a hard day. Today is a reasonable day. I have my second treatment on Thursday. I am afraid my recovery each time may be more difficult. Thank you for your kind review.

Hi barbara,
First, I'm glad to know that you are doing so well after the chemo treatment. I saw my dad bravely through treatment. The read is delightful and the dog shown is gorgeous. I think we all have to remember we are so much more than our appearance.

This is a beautiful story told with the deep understanding of breast cancer that you have. I really enjoyed the way it built up to the romantic dinner.

Great story! In a short and concise writing, You managed to create a story complete with fear, compassion, sensitivity and finally courage. Your opening paragraph immediately grabbed my attention and aroused my curiosity about our heroine's situation. Well done! Glad you are doing better. Keep resting as needed.
