    Thank you so much. My great-grandchildren love when we talk about the stars, heaven, and the stories I share with them. I hope it's a memory they will remember when I am gone.

    Smiles, Carol

This is a beautiful love story, motivated by your actual experiences. Love is magic. I enjoyed the way Nana had fun with the girls before they ran off to their mother. The entire story is heartwarming and realistic. Best wishes in the contest.

You share the magic of love beautifully, with an authentic and touching sincerity. I love the introductory humour and the scene of Nana scaring the children, before settling into explaining how love lingers forever in our hearts for a beloved.

This is a cute story. Yes, I think love is a bit magical, when you're with the right person. I like that Nana has experienced a forever love, and keeps Papa close in her heart. I also like that the girls ask if Nana is dead, and she scares them. Blessings. Carol

    This story is more non fiction than fiction because I do have that special love and my great granddaughters love my stories. Thanks so much.

Looks like Nana fulfilled her granddaughters' wish to tell a real grownup story about the real magic of love. The "cotton candy" lips scares me a little - does he use flavored chapstick?
Hope you do well in the contest!

    The cotton candy lips were added for my grandchildren's benefit. They thought I needed to say his kisses were sweet.

    Thanks, Helen. Smiles, Carol

You have the unabashed heart of a romantic and it looks so perfect on you! I know that you've had just this very love in your own life. I am quite positive he remains in your heart and pray you also have this dance in the moonlight with his memory. I can sense your eyes twinkling!

    I can imagine stepping into Nana's shoes and playing the role because I see him every night in my thoughts. He is here with me and yes, that's where the story originated.
