The challenge of every author who writes a story that tugs at our heart strings: tug without become a soap opera. You play this theme well. We have all the elements of a melodrama--dying girl, brooding man--and yet, you do not go there. This is very well done. Any reader who comes across your story may feel a bit of a tear. That's good writing.
Thank you for sharing this with us. We appreciate that you engage with the community. You are off to a nice start in the Inkwell. We look forward to reading more fiction/nonfiction from you.
I cried when I thought of it, cried while writing it and then cried again while proof reading it.😥
Thank you and I really appreciate the vote of confidence. I look forward to writing and sharing more stories🙂
