A very beautiful story and told in a simple yet touching way. The story flows very well and is engrossing from beginning to end.It doesnt have unnecessary details that take away from the story . A great job

A very touching love story, a true story too. And very fitting as an entry to this contest. Although this is non fiction, I think it will become a better read if you keep the suspense until the end. Knowing that Ron is dead from the very beginning, his fights for life seem not as exciting as it would, if you safe this knowledge for last. Anyway, you write this story well. I'm so sorry for Sarah.

hi
good writing. Sad story, bought a tear to the eye.

Good paragraph length and what little dialogue was realistic.

Sorry it's based on a true story, always sad to lose someone, even if part of them stays with you.

good luck

A beautiful and moving story that kept me engrossed. I was horrified by the son's callousness, and touched by Sarah's devotion. In a way I was as disappointed as Sarah would have been to learn that his responses may not have been made in awareness, but the idea that his subconsciousness and soul kept him connected is a lovely idea.

Ron let go of this mortal existence and flew into the arms of peace. He said goodbye to life on his terms, with a blue moon, and a new year. - lovely closing sentence.

Good luck in this contest, you've done well.


Cheers, Alison. :)

    Thank you so much. I don't write very many stories, mostly poetry, so I am pleased it touched you and you felt I did well with it. This was an important one to write.

Only with a tear in my eye and a tug on my heart strings can I review this wonderfully written story. It is a poem, a eulogy, a treasure that is living on since his death. You have given life to this piece and it is absolutely breath-taking. I can only imagine such love between Ron and Sarah and the recognition of this to those around them. This is a legacy that will live on forever. Thanks from my heart for this beautiful story.

A beautiful story that reads like a tribute to a loving man that understood the value and meaning of life.
It has always struck me as odd that so many good people are taken from us before their time, and we are left with so many jerks still alive.
Great entry, good luck.

    Yes, it is hard to understand why good people are taken and so many bad are loose upon this earth. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review.

This was a very beautiful and touching story.. Far too often people never find that special someone or as in this instance lose them once they have been found. A wonderfully written story..

    yes, their time was too short but they have an eternal love now and at least knew what it was like to feel that kind of love. Thank you so much for your review.

What a heartbreaking story. I bet poor Sarah was beside herself all that time. I know that their love will have a chance after this life, and the son will have to pay for his actions. Well done.

What a wonderful and heart-warming story. My heart went out to Sarah and what she must have endured as she spent the many months sitting next to his bed. Your writing is interesting and descriptive. I could visualize the hospital room and the battles within the family. It was a sad ending, but I'm sure as you say, Ron is by her side. Good luck in the competition.
