I like the format of this short story. I grew up with pen pals. My adult children keep telling me not to write long letters on text. Text is conversational.

The letters do make the the main character feel seen by whoever is writing to her. We glow, when love comes. Love does not always come in a way that we would expect. If there is love, it will unfold itself much like the flower that blooms in the spring.

It reminds me of the song: "The Rose"

    Thank you so much for the excellent review and kind compliments. You are right to say that love does not always come as we expected. Sometimes, it's wrapped differently. It's the heart that is the true gift.

-A very nice image, and excellent story, Sally.
-It flowed well from beginning to end.
-As always, you begin with good quotes.
-Interesting question raised by her mom,
one I have been pondering, but she feels otherwise.
-However, she also raises the concerns that others have.
-You are doing a great job of keeping us guessing,
and not giving away much, if any, clues!
-The story she shares about Burt and Alice is touching.
-Very good imagery as you describe her purchases,
but she also seems sensible about them.
-A good ending that lets us know about her surgery,
and makes me wonder if she doesn't think anyone
else will come along because of her condition.
-I have a feeling he will be beaming and gushing
with the next "love on a clipboard" episode!
-Very well done, my friend.

    Dear Pam, thank you. I am deeply honored by this. I love to see your name and beautiful orange flower. I think it's a gerber daisy. (My husband is the botanist.) LOL!

    Your generosity and kindness mean so much to me. I am pleased that you are enjoying these and hope you will stay tuned.
    Sending you my best today as always,

    You are very welcome and deserving, Sally. I am glad you like the orange flower. It is a zinnia.
    I will definitely stay tuned for the next installment from the Secret Admirer!

    Zinnia!!! I'll do better next time. LOL!!

    It's okay; I don't know a lot of flowers, either!

I love the premise of this story told in letters. It lets you describe your love through a different medium. We all love secret admirers. Best of luck with this project!

Have a great day, and God bless.

It sounds like something is budding, blossoming, and burgeoning into something that is a love-struck relationship. I like how poetry comes into play.
Favorite lines: Don't waste a day thinking I won't accept you. I already have.
Delightful share.

What a beautiful letter and I love how you have put the scripture passes about love in the heading of the story. In the ending I had to chuckle about the hospital gown with no ties.

Another appealing love letter. This is growing warmer by the day. I feel sorry for the heroine as she is going blindly into loving an image of someone she has in her mind in contrast to the man who obviously sees her every day. Isn't this some kind of torment?
Best to you Sally,
Sylvia

I don't know, I'm thinking he might want just a bit more than a chocolate kiss after the nonet and all, yeah?! :) :) LOL! A wonderful addition to the saga that really shows the transformation in her outlook and personality.... amazing what positive attention will do to the 'whole' of a person, isn't it? :) :) Thanx for sharing this 'heart-to-heart' story for us, Lady Sal -- thoroughly enjoyed! ;) Yvette

    Is there such a thing as caught up on FanStory. In housework. No. Methinks I will always be trailing.

If I had known a love like you, the way you write, the feelings you inspire... Why I would be at your beck and call, Sally. This is a very adoring, loving and beautiful letter. No wonder Jackson doesn't leave your side--- he is smitten. :) Thanks for moving my heart.

    So, Im leaking out on this one. Yes, I've had a lifetime of experience writing loveletters to Jackson and he has to me. I have a trunk full from our courtship and marriage. We have a deep bond that transcends looks, although he still thinks I'm beautiful, I think it must be coming from the inside. A heart of love makes a person attractive, as Kristin mentions in her letter. It makes my day to move your heart, dear poet. Thank you for the compliments and generous review.
    Sending you my best today as always,
    Sally :))
