WOW. You are back! How relevant and pertinent. I'm glad you classified it as fiction. (One of my stories was DQ the other day as I inadvertently said it was non-fiction instead of fiction.) This has an excellent punch at the end, cutting swiftly into that beautiful lyrical feeling of serenity and peace. Best wishes for your entry.

Hi, my dear friend. I wish I could say I was back, WEndy, but life just doesn't seem to let me do as I want. Thanks for always caring.
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

Awww, how bittersweet! Your story is so well written. I could just picture you there with his arms around you, and then the call. This story was straight from the heart, my friend!
Take care,
Rhonda

I have missed you. And I am happy you are back. You managed to tell a beautiful story in 75 words. I do not see any room for improvement. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Three years? You're grief is still fresh, and you haven't had a moment to grieve anyway. I'm hoping you have someone kind with you today, someone who can give you a hug and talk about the wonderful memories you must have of your beloved husband. This is such a sweet story, until the end! Those damned phones!!! Good luck, my sweet friend. Love you lots. Sandra xx

This deserves a six-star rating if anything does. My husband will also be gone for three years on the first of December. I can relate to your story and understand how tough it is. Best of luck in the contest.

You are so right! The morning is the best time to share my thoughts with God, nature and my friends. The heart doesn't seem quite as heavy until you pull back the drapes and let the world crash in. Thank you so much, Roy. I appreciate it very much.

Welcome back

-A good conclusion, as well.
-A very good entry; good luck!!!

There is no need to apologize Carol. Life events take precedent over things on FS. I am sorry for the losses in your family, and I can understand that writing right now is difficult. Take care of yourself and be well.

Beautiful flash moment. No matter how much time we've been apart from someone we love dearly. their presence is always welcome, and for brief moment we are in their arms again.
