Good morning, Yvette!
How I have missed your writing whether it be poetry or prose.
Your story flows so well, and I could well envision the surroundings.
Loved your description of the old lady... and Henry's eyes...

Congratulations on your win!
Thank you for sharing!
fondly,
diane

I really like this line: I turned and caught a glimpse of the warmest eyes ever placed on such a weathered face.

I read in your profile that you like to write fantasy, so I knew where this was going. Still, a lovely read - romance never goes out of style. Dead or alive:-)

I love reading and writing flash fiction, so I especially enjoyed this.

Is this a contest? If so, I wish you luck.

Hey Yvette.
What a great story. Your descriptors and your narrative kept the secret right until the end. It's Very touching. And a well written story. Sometimes it doesn't take many words to describe a really good one. Congratulations on your win.

Wiping tears from my eyes. What a heart-warming story, and it was so well written. I was freezing my butt off on the bench right along with Alicia. You made all the characters believable, and I cared about them immediately. I liked your last line. "A promise is a promise, baby. gayla

I was thinking about the scripture where the Apostle Paul wrote how we entertained angels unaware. I know this is just a story, but never sell the fact we do entertain them short. I liked your story , you did good.

    I, too, believe that there are angels among us.... 'entertaining angels' in many different aspects of that term... Thank you so much for your review!

This is a great entry for the Flash Fiction writing prompt competition. A sweet story of a love that lasts beyond death and is strong enough to keep promises made during life. Very nicely done!

Awesome! It also brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to have the love of my life keep his promise like that. I suppose, in other ways, he does. I enjoyed the story. Good luck in the contest.
Smiles, Carol

This is a lovely ghost romance story! I can't imagine how I'd react if it happened to me. You told the tale well...I felt cold reading it. Haha!
Well done and best of luck with the contest!
