Thanks for reading and for your very kind comments. Writing has always been cathartic for me and penning this particular, very true story, was such a pleasure. To know someone else enjoyed it as well increasing the pleasure. Thanks. ann
Comment from Ric Myworld
What an outstanding story that I've thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately, I read a lot of people and they only give us 6 sixes to last a week. And most times, mine are already gone by Monday or Tuesday. But, sadly, I never have one left so late in the week as Friday. This is one time that I wish I had a six to reward you deservingly. Thanks for sharing. And, Congratulations on your contest win! Ric

Comment from Mary Shifman
Wow, what a powerful experience. I absolutely believe that these things do happen. How wonderful it is that your husband was able to contact you in such a clear and meaningful way from the other side. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from mermaids
I enjoyed reading your story and could feel the love between you and your husband. Collecting the spoons was such a great idea, mementos of your travels with your husband you will always have. Excellent writing here and I am a fan of memoir and this is an interesting memoir.

Comment from LJbutterfly
Congratulations on winning the contest. This is a beautiful story of love and togetherness. I truly like the idea of promising to send your spouse or partner a sign when your spirit leaves your body. It will give the remaining partner hope and something to watch out for. I'm glad you had the spoons.

Comment from Ulla
I'm so glad this happened to you when you were in midst of your great loss and grief.
I don't know what to say, all I can share with you is that I've experienced a couple of ghosts in my lifetime.
I can understand why you won the contest. Ulla:)))

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Very nice story about a message from your husband. It's great is was so clear. Most people have a much more subtle answer sometimes. It is clear why you won the prize for this contest.

This story, Last Goodbye or First Hello, is unique and fills me with great hope for the that vast separation that we all must live through until we meet again. Nice.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. I enjoyed reading. My Dad died 6 years ago. Whenever Mom has a decision to make whether it's to get new tires or new carpeting, while she's walking the dogs, she sees an eagle. She's positive it's Dad helping her make that decision. I do understand.

I agree with your mom. The signs are all there; we must just be open to seeing and hearing them. Hawks work for me@ Thanks for reading and sharing your own thoughts. ann
Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The objective correlative of your work reminisces manifest dimensions of the agreed wishes between Ronnie , the protagonist and her departed husband.
The work highlights the pact between them and how it played out unequivocally before Becky, much to the surprise of the protagonist, who instantly experienced an enduring peace.
The work earns its texture through its effective use of corroborating anecdotes.
Excellent work. Bravo.
