This is a poignant and achingly beautiful story. In 75 Words you have drawn the reader into a private moment and shared thoughts and emotions.

Sparkling elements:
-I am captivated by intimacy and love portrayed
-When the cellphone rang jolting you out of your thoughts and memories, the reader feels that with you as well.
Thanks for sharing this tender story.

    My apologies for the long delay in responding to your kind review. Unfortunately, our family lost two more members this month, which has consumed me emotionally and time-wise. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and words concerning my writing and my health. The cyclone of life is not a good place at the moment. Though writing is my love and my escape, reality has a strong hold on me currently and my thoughts aren't for paper. Take care and thank you so much for caring. Hugs to all - Carol

Mine will be five years November 26, 2022. I know how you feel. Time does not heal. The day of the funeral has not left my memory. The scene constantly plays like a movie in my mind. It's as if the on button is depressed and stuck. Thank you for sharing.

This is a beautiful story telling the reader about the special moment you had with your husband.

How lucky you were to start most days this way, very special.

This is well written and presented, as it is a good contest entry that should do well.

Thanks for sharing and good luck!!

How wonderful that you have these times when your husband is with you again in spirit. But life does intrude and break the spell. This is a lovely story well-told in only 75 words. Best of luck in the contest.

Your special way with words amazes me as much today as they have since the very first day I started reading your posts. You have your own way of seeing things and, I'm glad I get to see them that way too as you write. Thanks for sharing.

I hate it when that happens, but it does every time.
I guess dreams just won't allow any close encounters
of the "intimate" kind. Well done. Lovely Picture!

Fantastic flash fiction that actually rings true like a real moment of reverie and dreaming about a lost love that is interrupted by the crashing sound of reality--the cell phone. Well done. I really have missed reading your work.

    In those quiet moments when I am alone, I tell myself how writing helps me soothe the wounds, but the strength to put words to paper just doesn't come...not yet, but I pray that it returns.
