I can see you have a sense of destiny, that somethings are simply meant to be, and I agree with you Carol, I know that if your life is tied up with God properly that can certainly happen, but I know my life with Elaine was meant to be, and yours with your husband, well done Carol, great story, blessings Roy

    Yes, I believe that regardless what difficult roads I traveled in life, I was meant to be with Mike. We fell in love and when no one else was there to care for him during his illness, I fought the doctors and everyone to make sure his life was the best it could be until the end. Others say they couldn't have done it but I don't regret a moment of it. I am glad that you too have found that kind of love with Elaine.
    Smiles, Carol

An interesting concept, to go back in time for one hour. You might split the last sentence of paragraph 5 into two sentences, the first with a question mark, and the second with a period. You write with great descriptions. Hugs! Carol

I would love to know what happens to Deacon and Alyssa next. You always do a brilliant job of making your characters feel like real people, Carol, and I always want to find out more about them. It would be great if there was a way how we could relieve a certain moment in our lives. An excellent piece.

    Thanks, Jacob! Yes, I would do it in a flash if I could have one hour back in time. Starting with my husband and then my mom and my kids. It would be an awesome moment. Thanks again for yur kindness and awesome words.

You are such a romantic, and know how to write dreamy love stories. This story also makes you wonder what you would go back to if you had a chance.

This subject would also make a great contest. Entrants could write a short story about someone who entered your machine and went back. Or they could write about where THEY would go.

I enjoyed this warm and fuzzy story.

    Thanks, Lorraine. I had fun with this one and thought it could possibly be a book of short stories with different people and different times and places. I enjoyed them finding each other. Thanks so much.

Carol, you and your romances! They are uplifting and give a feeling of hopefulness. If only such a machine existed, I would visit often! i might just keep a sleeping bag in it and live there. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes there are times I would like to zip back to if only for an hour. Being with my Honey would be my first chice and visiting my Mom, daughter and my son would be close follow-ups. Thanks so much for the review.

I don't believe anything happens by chance. Not even in short stories. Everything happens for a reason. Thank you for sharing this tender love story for our reading pleasure.

The next day, in the middle of the city's bustling streets, (The following day)

    i agree but we don't always know the reason...but it was fun to write. I can imagine many stories of zipping back in time for an hour... Fun and interesting.

What a unique story. I don't know if I would go back in time if it was just for an hour. If it didn't change anything what would be the point? But for them it did not change the past it changed the future. :-)

I'm so pleased the story had a happy ever after. I knew something would happen between them but didn't know until the end. But the idea of travelling back in time, it's coming.
