You have me questioning myself now....not that anyone would even ask, but I guess I should think about things like that. I love your story as always, Brbara. The emotions are so accurate and the love is so wonderful when the reader can feel it pouring from each word.

Always, Carol

This part of your story is coming across as the most real of any of it, Barbara, and that's because you know the topic from experience. I would never question your choices in this. I really enjoy reading this novel.

I want to know where Katherine found Gabriel. Does he have a brother? Never mind. He probably wouldn't be as good as Gabriel. This is a fictionalized version of your life? It's been very interesting and I'm eager to read more.

If you have go though cancer treatment, it is good to have friends to make sure you don't do it alone. I know the treatment makes you extremely tired, so it much have been hard for you to keep working. The story is great and Gabriel is proving how much he cares, not that there was any doubt.

Another fine reading chapter. You are giving your protagonist a lot of support. It sounds like your boys also supported you. Great job my friend. Shirley

'great chapter that weaves together the football theme, the UT coaches visit, and the mom's cancer and her weakness. I appreciated the note at the end of the post about your own experience!

This was great reading. You moved your story along nicely. Only in Texas are high school football games televised. I don't see any room for improvement. Thanks for sharing about yourself.

I owe you a possible apology. I am so engrossed in reading the story that I basically ignore any small error. I correctly assume that among your many readers someone will point out any mistakes. Reading this wonderful story, I am impressed by the level of love and support Katherine is receiving from her tribe of supportive friends and family. This no doubt makes things a lot easier to deal with.

I forgot about the cancer Katherine has. That will be a complication for her relationship with Gabriel. How will she tell him? It looks like an autobiographic book so you know what to do.

I hope you are cancer free now. It's very curable now for many different kinds. My mother had cancel about 8 years ago and she is still around. She is 85.

Well done.

    Thank you for the kind review. My doctor told me you are never cured of cancer, it's in remission.

A well written slice of life chapter. The family and close friends showing their love and support of Katherine. A football game in the background. Gabe expressing his love for all to see. They love each other. The lying grandparents are gone. There are no 'Real' obstacles to block their romance. So....

Is this the end of the novel?
