Hi John, this is a cute continuation to the story. What can I say? When people start dancing, anything can happen. Married for 44 years is quite a feat for anyone. Lol. This story made me smile. Well done. Margaret

That was a lovely continuation, and ending to the story, John. Now married for all those years, yet he still wants to marry her again. I love that ending! Well done, it was perfect! :)) Sandra xx

What a wonderful conclusion to the previous story. So they did form a relationship and get married and now, 44 years later, Matthew is still romantic and asking Anna to marry him again.
Thank you for following up with this delightful result.

Comment from Wendy G
Ah, very sweet. I also was wondering! He must have changed that shirt, and she probably helped him with his clothes for the following forty-four years! Nice story.

Comment from Soledadpaz
How sweet of Mathew to underscore his love for Anna by proposing to her all over again. And her reaction remains the same, flustered and happy. Even after 44 years. A true love story.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Well, this is short but sweet and I love the romantic flavor of this brief story. This roars with a reminder that we sometimes have only one chance in life. I will bet both of them do not regret their decision for a minute.
Thanks for sharing this heartfelt tale about the two of them reaching out to one another and never regretting it again.

Comment from Jim Wile
Wow, John! This was a very sweet continuation of that wonderful story from last week. I love how you advanced forward many years to have Matthew ask the question again for probably the umpteenth time, and it still affects Anna the way it does after all those years and proposals.
Just beautiful! Jim

That's a sweet ending! Thanks for adding to the story and what a great thing that the gift certificate led to meeting with the healing of the grieving and Matthew's marriage to Anna.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job continuing this love story, John.
I enjoyed reading it. Matthew and Anna have had a
44 yearlong marriage. Now she and Matthew are at
the grave site of Angelina as a year has passed since
her death.
From the last line, it seemed to me Anna may have
dementia and can't remember she's been married 44 years.
~~~~~~~
Matthew and Anna stood solemnly at the grave sight. The fall leaves swirling around. A cool nip in the air.
[Matthew and Anna stood solemnly at the grave site as fall leaves swirled
in the cool breeze.]
I know your work, your choice. However, those 2 incomplete sentences
needed revising in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

This is a clever and beautiful story. It's short and succinct with every word carrying the story forward. The dialogue is heartfelt and realistic and leads to a very satisfying, though surprising ending. Well done.
