Sophia, you are, without a doubt...one of the very best writers to post on this site. You have a special way with decriptive narative and you never let your readers down. Thanks for a special Christmas present. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
"You're back!" said Mary, excitedly.
Well, we are so very happy for your return. You and your stories have been greatly missed. Got me in the mood to put up the tree. Haven't felt like having a tree for many many years. Thank you for warming my heart with the possibilities of love. Who knows, maybe it is my chance too.
and you came back as strong as ever. Semper Fi. Merry christmas to you and the family. A fan. TK U MLJ LV NV
This I found to be a very enjoyable Christmas story - liked the Angel parts. Perfect.
The build up to the end was well crafted.
From the other comments your are a good writer and behind that probably much more. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

What Christmas is & should be all about you put into words. Great Job!
Well written as usual and very touching and emotion evoking.
I really admire the way you have of illustrating with such sensitivity the uncertainty and insecurity that so often plagues even the most confident and strong when dealing with interpersonal relationships in situations such as those you constructed for Kevin and Mary.
I'd like to see the story expanded with additional character development.
I'd also like to see Literotica offer an option to view the story as one l-o-n-g webpage so that I don't have to click through page after page, especially on the longer stories.
As a Lt. colonel, he would be in his forties. Mary was working on her masters so she would be in her twenties. Her mother would be in her forties. You screwed up on this one.
As former military, Colonels can be in their thirties (30's) which depends on MOS and needs of military at that time. As for a masters, it took me 10 years for mine. Yes, I had the G.I. bill ($115.00 per month) and I had to work full time to pay for rent, food, insurance, et al. I was almost 34 years old before I had my masters in my hands. So, do not assume the ages are always correct according to your (the other reviewer) timeline since the needs of life will create changes and we need to adjust to those needs. I found the story very enjoyable and rather good for this site.
You have to remember this is fiction. You would write a story based on this theme differently than this author.
I enjoyed this tail and that is all that is necessary for me.
You people that start nitpicking are a real pain in my ass
A heartwarming story. Nothing on earth is more precious then love. God bless and thank you for sharing this story.
Angry it had to end.... reading in dreamland and that is the sauce that warms the heart.... thank you
Thanks for sharing your creativity. The story is the most important component and you are a Great Story Teller. Personally I almost never see a typo or any other error...only following the story.
Thanks!

4th read over the years. One remembers those that have gone ahead. Remembering those still here and the memories that warm our hearts. Thank you Sophia!
