PS estragon, good editing too! I know how important a good editor is. I am grateful for SoCalOvid. The unsung heroes!
Ending brought tears to my eyes. Well written; well edited. Well done!
Nice to read a story that is about a woman who decides she loves a man and stays faithful to him for life. Well written as always and thanks for the prompt postings, which makes it ever so much easier to follow the story.
DG Hear, I loved every bit of this story. Keep up the great work!! You nearly made me, a grown man, cry.
Lovely story, but, D.G. Hear, you're too good a writer to be writing a sentence that reads "there must be someone who ... matched Vicky and I together." I know that the objective case of personal pronouns has a generally tough time on this list, but when the error pops up on what should be a very poignant sentiment, it's like a grain of sand in the eye of the otherwise wholly absorbed reader. In short, that "someone" matched "Vicky and me together." Try it out.
Excellent romantic story, 5 stars. If I had writen this story I would have put the wedding , when the youngest child would have been 5 years old. That scen would have been same romantic, as this was, but it does not matter for me. DG Hear's writing skill is without big waves, his level and quality is continously straight.
As I sit here practically drowning in tears, I conclude that I enjoyed it. Marlene really did a job on him. When she moved off the stage everyone was "great folks"!
Thank you DG!
i liked it . is was a good romantic story. the way the author made vicky into the perfect women. why wait till he was 65 to marry. she could have still married him and givin him a pre nut so the money part would not reflect the reason for the union..
Just when I think you couldn't top your last story you do it again. I don't know how you do it but please don't stop.
I laughed out loud at the mother's comment to the father at the wedding and did it again when he told why he didn't wait. So real and just like an old couple who are still together at 90 years of age.
The rest I mostly cried.
Another great read DG. As long as you want to keep writing them, I'll enjoy reading them! Thanks!
The song you included brought back "Precious Memories" from my youth too. I can still see and hear the choir (mostly my country folk neighbors) singing it in my mind.. To quote a famous comedian "Thanks for the Memories".
DG has long been one of my favorite authors. This story certainly demonstrates why. It is definitely one of the finest love stories ever posted on this site.
I wanna be rich and marry a super model when I grow up.
...what an absolutely fantastic piece of work. You are definitely my favorite author and never fail to move me. Please keep up the great work because there are so many of us who wait on pins and needles for your next offering. Thanks for what you do.
D. G. ,
You are the best--when I feel down or something, I can always depend on one of your stories to make me feel better
Thanks always,
Sam
Thank you for all the time and effort to create this wonderful story. I enjoyed it to the fullest and look forward to the rest of your stories.
loved it from beginning to end...what a great love story....and the end really surprised me...fantastic....
A masterpiece of suspense, of deep love and tenderness. Excellent story-line and weaving of the plot. When you have been burnt, like Buddy had been, establishing trust with a new partner takes a lot of time and good communications. It also helps a lot when the partners have a lot of smarts and Vicky is certainly showing a lot of it. It is especially obvious when Vicky has her private conversation with Lisa and both women become best friends. It is also brilliant to have Vicky say that this is not a second family but one family.
Thanks DGH for this story. It is an outstanding picker-upper when you are down and it makes your day even better if life is already good.
Two sets of 5* end to end.

WOW! Great story and a fantastic ending. I could almost see how beautiful she was. I sort of wished they could have gotten married early, but the story wouldn't have been the same and not the fantastic happy ending it has.
