LIJJ,

A sweet little story where everything ends well and just at the right time. It was still a pleasure to read and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you so much. I look forward to more!

    Thank you Red.

    I am Dr Who fan. He is is a Timelord who travels in the Tardis. Bigger on the inside than the outside. I just twisted things a bit.

'Jack (heard) could hear them chatting excitedly.' (delete)

The first part was very repetitive but I liked the ending and the middle grabbed my attention. Thank you for sharing.

Great story, very well written.
Couple of suggestion, bench is used repetiviely. I wonder if there is another word that you could use as well.
four-legged needs a hyphen.
Great job, I look forward to reading more!

    Thank you Ada for pointing these things out. I was really surprised when I found so many references to bench in this piece. It is amazing the things right in front of our faces that we fail to see. I made some changes based on observations. Thank you much.

A fine tale of love on three different levels, beautifully intertwined in your telling. Since other reviewers have already commented on sentence structure and punctuation, I'll not repeat their advice. This truly is a diamond in the rough - a remarkably well-wrought tale. I hope to have the privilege of reading more of your work in due course.
Perhaps you have a tale to explain your interesting pen name?

    Thank tfawvus I really do appreciate your generous comments. I am a Dr Who fan. Lordinajamjar is just a corruption of the Time Lord in his Tardis.

Hi there, it's such a bittersweet tale. Although they find each other they still lose the man that brought them together. I read your story with great interest. All the best. Ulla:)))

What a beautiful and sad story you wrote. I gave you a 6 because it touched me and I didn't find one thing out of place. Your characters and dialogue are excellent. Needless to say, I love the storyline even if it is sad. Have a blessed evening. Shirley

This is a touching story. I have not come across your writing before. But I am glad I found this one. Incorporating the lilac bush was a stroke of genius.Symbolic of nature reflecting our emotions or closely associated with our feelings
Thanks for posting.

    Sanku you are very observant. Not many would catch the link to the Lilac. I am a newbie just 4 days now I think. Thank you so much for your support.
