I don't know Brian, Sandra, but I do know this. As much as you both obviously loved each other, I doubt very seriously that he would begrudge you a chance at having someone in your life who loves you dearly. In fact, I would bet that it makes him extremely happy to see you happy.

This was a poignantly beautiful poem, and so very well written. Excellent meter and rhyme...you should do extremely well in the contest.

Best of luck. :}

    Thank you so very much, Dean, for your wonderful words. I have always felt Brian approved. The sun shone all weekend when I remarried, on the 13th (unlucky for some) of October, a month that is always cold and miserable! Thank you, again, my wonderful friend. xsx Sandra

A perfect smooth rhyming work of poetry, the idea found within, love is forever, if there is are was true love it transcends to living in happiness "if you love someone you want them to be happy, forever" thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful tale of finding love a second time following the death of your beloved - with family and friends rejoicing - the pain and loss of widowhood is overwhelming - I am still coming to terms with being a widow 5 years on - Congratulations and best wishes.

What a beautiful and touching poem. It is very well written and heartfelt. I like your story told so poetically. You rhymed it well and it flows very smoothly into the next verse. It is a lovely poem about love, and so much more. I wish you well in the contest. This is a gem of a poem. Nice job! I really enjoyed reading it.

Love the art work that you chose for this writing. It's very colorful and soft. I also liked the poem mostly for its rhyming and rhythm.

I reached across and stroked the pillow case
And knew I would no longer see his face [these lines were deeply felt]

So you remarried? Why didn't I know that? Guess it never occurred to me. Or my tired old brain just forgot. What a beautiful story in this poem, all the more special because it's not fiction. Belated congratulations. :)

    I am sure I told you, LOL, you are getting like me! Thank you, Phyllis. I was 39 when Brian died, I honestly never thought I would get married again. It's too painful when you lose someone you love. Then I thought, hang on, I could go first next time! Or something like that! Have you got my next page written yet??? xxxxx

    No new chapter... might take a day off. I just got a diff idea for it and need to give it some thought. I don't know if Gary should find Tara on the bridge BEFORE she jumps, or arrive in time to see her leaping to her death.
