This is a beautifully written story. So much emotion in so few words. You used your words so well that each sentence packs a punch. By the way how is the movie coming along.

Like you, I too am falling behind on thanking everyone. Trying to get stuff done around the house and take care of the apartments (I truly hate being a landlord) is stealing my time from FanStory. Forgive me for just saying thank you and I appreciate it. Smiles, Carol

This is a brilliantly expressed experience of letting go of someone who is your love and with whom you have shared a life.
The scene is so poignant and heartbreaking. Letting go is a final unselfish act, but the pain is still unbearable.
May your memories sustain you.

You are awesome. thank you so much for understanding the love and the pain entwined in my words. Saying it was okay was the last thing I wanted to do, but the greatest piece of me I could ever offer him. I miss him so much but he is in a better place without pain. I appreciate your kindness and the lovely stars. Smiles, Carol

Wow! It's hard to watch somebody take their last breath. I can understand that. My prayers go out to you. It made for a really good contest entry and I wish you the best of luck.

Huge emotion squeezed into these hundred words. So much lies unwritten between the lines.
The death of a loved one is never easy to deal with. The gap left in one's life is unfillable.
My heartfelt condolences.

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear BA, I do hope by sharing this story, as painful and heart wrenching as it is, will be part of the healing process. By reading your other stories I have discovered that you use your writing as your way of working through everything. All it will take is some time, Before the pain finally goes away.

Thank you, Suzanna. You are a very astute reader. I do use my writing to express my emotions. I can't usually verbalize without being a crybaby, but when I write, I can release the emotions...just me and the computer. Of course, I cry, but the computer doesn't make fun of me. LOL, I appreciate your great review. Smiles, Carol

Dear BA, I am glad your computer does not make fun of you. Most people have a hard time dealing with someone with big red eyes and a runny nose.

Yes, me too! Almost got electrocuted from all the water in the keyboard. LOL
Comment from estory
It's a short but pretty intense little scene. The realistic dialogue really draws us in and keeps us riveted here, and we can hear the pain in the voices under the surface. There's a lot between the lines here. A lifetime of a relationship being torn apart. estory

Yes, it was the hardest moment of my life. letting go. I was lost, wondering how I could live without him. But he's always here in my heart and I'm writing again because that's what he wanted me to do. Thanks for reading my story. Smiles, Carol

It seems wrong to call this a beautiful write yet that is exactly what it is. A hard piece to write I an sure but one that made me there with you at every word.

thank you, Geoff. Yes, it was probably the hardest piece I have ever written. Reliving each second brought me to tears... but knowing how special we were together... it was all worth it. Thanks for the review. Smiles, Carol
Comment from Wendy G
What a moving story, and I can see how hard it would be to put the words together. It is beautiful as your love shines through, and you have conveyed that sense of inevitability and dread and fear very well. Blessings to you. I hope you can find comfort.

we all seem to have too much sadness tugging at our hearts with family ill, friends unable to share, Covid restrictions... We need to step out and breath the air again. Smiles, Carol
