This is a perfect ending, and I am positive that Iris does how much Jameson loves her. I can't imagine any difference. She did make a huge difference in his life. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us.

This is a great story. I'm sorry I didn't read it from the beginning, but I think I caught up with the important parts of it. I'm enjoying your other writing as well and I look forward to reading more.

The great thing about this story, Gretchen, it has never once lapsed into mawkish sentimentality. It has touched those emotional chords as skilfully as any writer could do and left the reader gratified and happy about its conclusion. Well done and thank you! Debbie

Isn't that wonderful, I've heard of shooting stars crossings the skies as a sign that a loved one gives a sign that everything is fine, what a generous person. So it would be nice to hear from Jameson again, well done Gretchen, blessings Roy

    Thank you, Roy. That last paragraph took days. I had to end the novella with a connection or final word from Iris. The shooting star was it. Lol. Gretchen

Gretchen,
A wonderful ending to a calm, quiet story of true friendship. Jameson snd Iris were both thankful for the other coming into their life.

There wasn't a chapter written that would've turned me away. Every chapter had me wanting for more!

Cheers to a fine conclusion.
John

What a lovely ending. I had hoped this would be how you would wind it up and so glad you did. I look forward to more of your stuff. You never disappoint. I will get to your other I have on Kindle, soon, as well.

Beautiful ending. But I didn't want it to end. I really enjoyed this story. You have such a direct, yet meaningful and powerful, writing style. I wish I had a six again for you, for your chapter is worth it, as is the whole story. Well done, congratulations.
Wendy
