This is a sad story about your nephew. He seemed to live a full life despite his illness. He did live longer than was predicted by the physicians. Your story flows smoothly and shows your nephew's character clearly.

Thanks, Elaine. Bobby made the most of his life.
Comment from Sasha
I have grown to care a lot about Bobby and his death is a true sad moment. You have written about him before but even knowing how he died, it seemed to hit me harder this time. Beautifully written yet deeply sad.

I wrote it from a different angle this time. Perhaps that's why the stronger emotion. Thank you, Sasha, for your warm comments.
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello, sweetie pie,
Bobby story was very sad and well written. You are doing well with your biography. I'm writing one and it's hard at times.
You tell it naturally and intimately manner.
Good job sweetie pie,
Gypsy

Thanks, Gypsy. I hope you find that writing yours is an insightful experience. Mine is.
Comment from Leen1
Oh how sad, I had gotten so use to Bobby and the way he was coping with his challenges. So sorry your family's loss. I, however, cannot help thinking about the title of this chapter; does all appear as it seems regarding the accident. Look forward to the next installment.

Thanks, Leen. I meant it was strange because who would expect that heavy scooter to tip over? Umm, maybe I'll so some research on it.
Comment from abbasjoy
What a sad state of affairs. One by one your family is dwindling, and especially as you had always been quite close with Bobbi, visiting him regularly.
I can only imagine how you felt at this time.
Hopefully writing about it doesn't cause you more pain.

No pain, abba. It hurt me so to watch him struggle to eat and continually fill his lungs with oxygen. I know he is happy now.
Comment from Mary Wakeford
What a sad ending to your nephew's life. I am so sorry for the pain still present by your writing. Something in you decided to kiss his cheek, which was received by your nephew as a loving gesture, which obviously touched him. I'm glad you both had that last send off.
Your style of writing is very factual, with hints of heart break tucked inside each paragraph. Beautiful and yet so tragic.

I'm so glad you caught the inference of the kiss. Maybe I had an intuition although it didn't feel like it. I love the comments you make on my writing.
Comment from Bryana
I'm so sorry for the lose of your relative, I see is not fiction.
You are so right my friend, in our golden years we see relatives
and friends go, it's very painful unless they are suffering
and it's best for them to go.
I will be waiting for the next chapter.

Bobby was suffering, and I know he wanted to go. I often wonder how much longer he would have lasted had it not been for the accident.

Hi Shari. First m condolences on your family's loss. I like that you keep the details of the story flowing effortlessly. It kept me reading and actually I didn't want the story to be over yet. It's good solid writing. Be well. xoxo Kiwi

Thanks for a warm encouraging review. Nice to hear from you again. :-)
Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
Yeah, no one in my family will shed tears when I am gone. I do hope if something happens they will let Fanstory know as you are my family. I doubt any of them would do it though. This is sad, but at least his pain ended. One spag"

Thanks, Debbie. I like to think that someone would contact FS too about me. I have an idea. Ask your lawyer if you've made a will or put a note in the official papers that someone (maybe your minister/) would do that for you? Leave instructions. It's that easy. And we'd all want to know.
Comment from Jay Squires
This was a very moving chapter, Shari. Bobby's death took me by total surprise as well. What a way to be told. "I still can't believe Bobby's dead." I hope I did editing justice to this. I was so wrapped up in the narrative, I failed to discover any nits--if they existed.

That says something when you were too engrossed to spot errors. By now, I've had enough reviews to correct any typos. I've written Bobby's life story, but haven't found time to self-publish it yet. Finding or making a cover plus writing a blurb is time consuming.
