How sweet and tender. Such a wonderful thing to do to brighten someone else's day. This left me with a smile and a good feeling. I hope you do well in the contest.

Comment from bookishfabler
I read this twice. I was confused because it was supposed to be first kiss among strangers, and she said I missed you. but now I see it seems to be at a nursing home or something. Is that correct? I liked it

Hi :) Thank you for your lovely comments. Yes, Doreen has dementia... she doesn't know the writer, the writer doesn't know her, but for some reason, Doreen believes that she does know the writer. It's based on something that happened to me one of the times I was visiting my Grandad (who also has dementia) as I was leaving... one of the other residents thought I was there to see her, it was hard to leave as she was so delighted to see me... kindest regards :)

That is so sad. Good luck

Oh dear! I don't even remember writing what was previously here. Complete and utter insane ramble.
You have my sincere apologies.

Hi Erik, I know that programme - I think it was called 'Why Don't You'... Sorry Doreen was mean to you - she sounds like a complete witch.
The Doreen in my story is actually lovely, she has alzheimers.
Thanks for sharing some of your experiences with me, it's great that your ex gf's autistic sister was looked after so well and taught the same values as her sister. It's like reaping what you sow I guess.
You'll be pleased to know that all my kids are being brought up to be decent people and so far we seem to be doing a great job with them! (although I'm grateful that they are all 'normal', healthy kids... not everyone is as fortunate)
Thanks for your feedback... I really appreciated your comments :) Kindest regards...

Lol you are a very nice person. I was so disgusted when I began to read my own review that I deleted it without finishing.
I actually don't remember writing it, though it very definitely was written by me. I recognised my own venom.

Don't worry about it!
Comment from Connie C
Of all the ones I've read so far in this contest, yours is my favorite. It has a great surprise ending when you indicate the place. Also, I like it perhaps because my Dad lived in a retirement home before he passed away. There were more than a couple of women there who offered him a lot of affection, so I can just picture one of them in this scenario. My best to you in the contest with this very fine entry.

I love this story, about a kiss that meant an awful lot to Doreen. A nice thing to happen to her. a great entry for the 100 word story.
Well done, good luck in the contest. Mary

This was a well written story. The story was very touching. At that moment, that kiss brightened someone's day. This was a very good story.

Comment from abbasjoy
As I looked at the title of this post, my heart skipped a beat. Why? Because that's one of my middle names.
A well told story, that reflects one individual's caring for another, even though the other person was a complete stranger.
A heart warming story.
