I very much enjoyed reading your excellent story. It really drew me in and captured my attention from start to finish. I found myself rooting for the main character all the way and wishing the best for the individual. Your depiction of this situation was quite emotional and touching to me. Your descriptive skills are exceptional and you express yourself very well.

I do thank you for this review and the very generous rating. As I said in the other reply. People such as yourself keep me writing and always trying to be a better writer.

I cannot thank you enough for such a high rating. That was very thoughtful and generous of you. I am so glad you enjoyed it. You are correct; I loved writing it. I figure if my writing can make one person smile or laugh. Then I have accomplished something right.
Thank you again for the rating, but just as importantly, taking the time to read it.

Thank you so much for the very kind words. I enjoyed writing this story very much. I am a fairly new writer, so words such as yours inspire me to continue writing.
I also appreciate you catching those errors. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.

This is a very heart warming story and a flashback by an Irish couple. I see in your profile that you live in Detroit. You did a great job writing about an Irish couple.

This might need a little conflict.

Well done.

Yep, I am from Detroit. Thank you for your compliment about my writing of an Irish couple. But I cannot take credit. I am Irish on my mother's side and in fact an Irish citizen. My wife and I married in Ireland almost fifty years ago. We have been to Ireland numerous times over the years. I have family in County Cork.
The couple is based on my wife and me. Fortunately, over the years we have been married our conflicts seemed to revolve around our children. Lol

This is a lovely story, very sweet, and happy. Their relationship seems almost too good to be true! What a blessing if it is true!!
It was an enjoyable read, a gentle and positive story. Just one typo: Third last paragraph: no comma needed after "Kathleen's".
Well done. Good wishes for the contest.
