I knew this was a six when you mentioned on the phone! It is filled with love and heart and loneliness and dreams gone silent. Beautifully written and wonderful tribute to not only a woman well-loved and loving, but a life well-lived. While I understand why you did not enter it in the contest, I also know it would have be the winner. I miss your stories here on Fanstory. You are too good to retire. I think writing just when you want to is part of retiring, isn't it? lol

I hope you will live the rest of your life exactly as Zoe would have wanted you to -- sort of that last tribute. I don't know that it helps everyone, but it always helps me to remember the good times then and figure how to make some more.


Great writing, terry

Hmm, you did a great of job of sticking with the subject and theme. The story may have wrote itself, but it seemed to know where it should go. Many of the song references will resonate with readers. Each seeing one they fondly remember.

well done.

What a lovely story and what wonderful songs you've mentioned. the concept of hearing music every time you see someone is so incredibly beautiful! "Every time I see you I still hear Trumpets" 1000 Times A Day by The Early November

Wow. What an amazing story. You have an excellent memory to remember all those songs. This is such an atmospheric read and really took me back in time. The ending really shook me up. I am so sorry. Take care. Jen.

Music is the one thing that is able to bring back the memories of long ago. Some bring happy memories, those you don't want to forget. Some you'd rather not hear played again. You have some amazing music here that brings Zoe back to you. They are treasures. I'm glad you came out of retirement to share this with us. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

I understand your love for music. Jim and I found many songs
to love in our fifty five years of marriage. We loved music and we loved to dance together. The music pretty much went out of my life when he died too. Well done Terry, well done. Nancy:)

What a lovely tribute to Zoe. I like how you weave the lyrics of the songs throughout the telling of your story. It's amazing how music reaches through time.
Thank you so much for sharing. I do miss reading your works. They always brought a smile to my face.

A lifetime of love annotated for you by a plethora of musical stars. What bliss that must have been. And so nice to hear how in tune the pair of you were. I will wait for you to write again, but I certainly hope you will feel the call. We miss you. kay

I'm so sorry about your loss of your wife Zoe. She seemed to be very free spirited and you and she had many memorable moments. I hope you will still write once in a while and writer part-time.

Well done.
