Comment from Carole Rosa
To the author of A New Life. This little story had all of the prompt requirements. It was touching and sweet. Of course, I thought that it was going to be a wedding, but instead it was a graduation. How very nice. Good luck in the contest. Carole

Miranda obtains her business degree in a fashion that has the reader thinking she's getting married. At sixty-seven, that might be more useful than business.
Good luck with the contest!
Cheers, DW

I love how the reader is misguided to think it's about a nervous bride to learning it's really a senior citizen receiving her college degree :-) You not only tell a complete story but a delightful one withing the 100 word dash restrictions :-) Brooke

Nicely done, you made me feel she was adjusting her wedding gown the twist wondering if it was to late at her age and then finding out it was her diploma. I loved it. Good luck in the contest. Terrie

Comment from bluedragon776
Good start because I thought, as I am sure others did, that it was a wedding. Good twist at the end. Proof that it is never too late to acheive something you think is worthwhile. Good Luck.

Comment from jmdg1954
Very well done author. I was reading this and probably like other readers envisioned her getting married until you mentioned going up the stairs. Then my mind drifted, but not onto a graduating class scene.
Nicely hidden, nicely done. John

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hah, I knew it! At sixty-seven, you're too set in your ways to think about getting married again. I figured she was graduating college or something like that. But hey, it could have been either one, I suppose. Many people Miranda's age and much older do both.
Good story with a nice, uplifting little twist.

Comment from Bill Schott
Terrific story. It had me going in a completely different direction (I'm sure that was your goal). This is a positive and jocund story for our times. Nice.

Comment from Pegcook
Nicely told story with a twist. I can sort of relate to the Miranda, as I received my Master's degree at the age of 54. But she has a few years on me.
