I liked the story very much. Your opening paragraphs grasped the reader. I felt there should be dialogue with the son (confrontation with the medical records, status of Mike)). The viewpoint was a bit confusing. I assumed it was from the narrative P.O. Then, it read that it moved to Sarah, which I would have enjoyed as well. Good luck!!

Such a touching love story but a sad ending. I hope I am never faced with the decision of turning off life support; there is always that glimmer of hope that they may recover. Miracles do happen. This is a good contest entry. Well done.

How sad.
in a coma (add comma - independent clauses) but she felt her presence would give him strength
Life was moving from day to day (add comma - independent clauses) and Sarah remained by Ron's side
or more of snow (add comma) and if you aren't experienced

thank you so much for your help with the commas, English was never one of my best subjects.

Comment from adewpearl
He snubbed no one, easy to talk to - WAS easy to talk to
While riding toward home, Doreen asked - add comma
comfortable going further - farther (since discussing measurable, physical distance)
What a tragic story of life cut short and needless suffering, but what a magnificent story of love and loyalty. I'm so sorry this is based on a true story because I really did come to love these people through your descriptions. Brooke

He was a good man and will be missed greatly. The guy who hit him has pleaded not guilty, his trial starts on the 22nd. It's all so crazy to lose such a beautiful soul. Thanks for the stop by and I'll look at those errors.
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
A good piece of descriptive
writing, well presented, making
it easy to follow. An enjoyable
read, albeit so sad.
A few little tweaks needed, but only minor...
just ignore if not in agreement, my friend.
The trying months had taken a toll.
........................... had taken their toll.
When you are near 50, like we were,
........................ 50, as we were
than either had hoped for. - "for" not necessary..
than either had hoped.
beautiful motorcycle riding weather
beautiful weather for motorcycling
his father, (so) how could he possibly
it seemed like Ron's son didn't
it seemed as if ...
It was like he wanted his father to die
It was just as if he wanted...........
Well penned. Margaret.

Comment from dmjones
This story made me cry and knowing it's true makes it all that much sadder. Really good job of bringing out the emotions you must have felt when you wrote it. The story flows well and this is a great entry.
One thing:
as the doctor's (doctors)weren't allowed to tell her anything.

I've gone over this story so many times and not once did I catch that, thanks so much!!!
Comment from unidian
What a sad thing to happen to your cherished friend ... and the now lonely Sarah. Good contest entry. One thing you may want to revise...
'It was early in November when the snow started to fly. Sarah, being from Ireland, wasn't quite use to this.'
First, it should be 'used' not 'use'. Second, Ireland shares similar weather to my home country, Scotland, and I can assure you that the inhabitants of each are well used to snow! Tom

Thanks for the great review. I'll take a look at that area. She sure acted like she didn't see it much. She'd take pictures of it and was afraid to drive on it for sure. I've always had problems with that use/used thing. I'll take care of that, thanks for pointing it out.

Sometimes true events grip us and wake us from reality.
Sadness abounds everywhere.
This is a very touching story.
To share such love and then have it snatched away is painful.
The existence of angels is the comfort we have to be able to hold on to those we have lost.
Nice imagery.
Good luck in the contest.

What a great story about one being there through the worse, for the one they love. Very sad about the son and his choices. You told this very well and it kept my interest from beginning to end. Good job on story. Love, Jean
