Thank you very much, DD. I?m so glad you enjoyed my flash fiction (really based on my life.) I am somewhere in minute number five, between 44 and 50 years of happily ever after.
Sending you my best today as always,

Comment from Zala Jam
I loved your piece, you did a great job showing how quickly time passes. Life boils down to a couple of major events and you managed to squeeze them all in in this short piece (though I'm sure they're surrounded by a myriad of smaller moments which are just as important). And you're absolutely right, we should never waste a single minute! Great job.

Comment from tfawcus
Condensing it all down to five minutes is a good way of reminding us how time flies. It really does seem to slip by, almost without us noticing it happening. The important memories seem like they only happened yesterday. A creative response to the 100-word challenge.

This is a fast forward taletelling with a lesson about use of minutes for living and how people lose and enjoy; I liked the third and fifth statements; well said, well done. Write-Inspire --DR ALCREATOR

Great flash fiction from true life. Reminds me of the old song,"Give me five minutes more of your time". Very old song, you may not remember.
Blessings,
Elaine

Time does go fast doesn't it? Next year we will have been married 5 years already but it certainly doesn't feel like that long. Thanks for the reminder to enjoy each other

Oh, Sally, this is just so wonderful. I love it. It's so romantic and poetic to boot, to sum up a lifelong love in minutes. It's very original and I just love it. Good luck in the contest. Ulla:)))

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
Often it does seem a whole lifetime has gone by in just 5 minutes. We just celebrated our 20th year here in FL, it doesn't seem possible it has been that long. Time goes too fast. Well done and I hope you do well in the contest. Rox
