Wonderful epilogue, Barbara, it's the perfect way to end your book. You have a combination of happy circumstances. It's very romantic and heartfelt. Recovering from cancer, teaching again, and marrying the one we love. Katherine is a wonderful person that deserves to be happy. Well done! Congratulations.

"to University of Texas" would probably read better as to the University of Texas.

"it's been little over a year" would read better as it's been a little over a year.

Seems Gabriel has matromony duties on his mind when they go to bed.

Interesting wrap up of this book.

    I appreciate the help. I tend to read over those little words just as if they're there.

I'm so glad Katherine's cancer is still in remission. And honeymooning in the Rocky mountains of Montana seems so romantic. It was grat revisiting this story, Barbara.

    I already put that 'a' in. Maybe I forgot to save. I'll recheck it. I appreciate the help.

I think the epilogue is great and I'm glad you did one. Of course, we assumed it would have a happy ending. It is probably good you waited. I find any errors or have any suggestion for change. The six stars are for the whole book you deserved more that I had to give.

This is a good story with good character development. Katherine is fortunate to find a guy who wants to marry a woman with four kids. Gabriel is a brave man to take on 4 boys. Both are strong characters. You pretty much described a relationship that promises to be great because the coach isn't going to have the boys play football if they don't want to do so.

I must admit my mind wrote an epilogue to this story anyway, but it's so nice of you to do one anyway, and to know what the boys are going to do with their lives, beautifully written dear Barbara, well done, blessings Roy
Typo : They're engrossed in (a) ball game.

I have no arguments with this happy ending epilogue. It sounds like Katherine and Gabriel will be happy forever, in spite of any difficulties which may arise from raising Katherine's children together. I always thought sixth grade was harder than eighth, but of course it would depend on so many things.
Favorite lines: She laughed. "Besides you'll be right there butting your way in."

He kissed her. "It's part of my charm, don't you know?"

You nailed it! I'm a sucker for a happy ending. Congrats on completion. Good call to do this final epilogue.
