Sorry for the five stars. I read this chapter the other day, and thought I had left a review. I must have gotten distracted. I hate to blame the 2 year old I'm raising, but I am a bit long in the tooth for a toddler.
Definitely deserved a six.
I loved the chapter and felt so relieved at the two of you finally reconnecting. The fact you took to her daughter like you did is invaluable. It's rare to find a man who will accept another man's child as his own.
Virtual six, my friend!

Cyber hugs n prayers. No doubt there's story in what you said.

"On the Road of Grace" gives a very rewarding picture of this highly up-and-down relationship that began to find the renewal of their love. You present the story so well.

This is the part that all romantics like me will like, and this time it's real! I can understand why she is loved. She reminds me of a young married girl at our church who despite her vulnerability and sweet innocent nature, runs the street ministry in our church, beautifully written Stan, blessings Roy

Thanks so much, I appreciate that. I know my wife would love to hear some of which has been said, but I'm planning to try and publish it just before our 40 year anniversary as a big surprise!

I so glad things were working out for the two of you. It is a shame that Mary had to go through so much before the timing became right for the two of you. I'm looking forward to reading more of your story.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I liked reading this. It had poetic technique interspersed with great prose.
The only place I took a second look at was here:
He nodded with a rye smile
I think you mean wry smile
Otherwise, it suggests he was eating a sandwich, or thinking of one on rye bread.

I'm glad that you hit it off immediately both with Mary and Malissa. They were definitely in God's plan for you. I just feel so sorry for what Mary went through. But despite that tragedy, a beautiful daughter came to be.
her sisters car from the airport on (sister's)
The Blakely's must have hear (Blakelys) I don't know why the editor thinks the possessive should be used instead of the simple plural.
couldn't be anymore sure of (any more)
that boys coming back, (boy's) for the contraction of 'boy is'

Excellent story. I assume this was the key that unlocked you and Mary to a long marriage. Just glad God got her out of that mess she was in. You were her ticket. God was the ticket puncher. Good one, Bro.

This is well written. Sometimes we are lucky enough to ger a second chance after we royally mess-up the first time. And yes, normally, taking on a ready-made family is a hard thing to do. How all this squares up with the ministry goal, I am very curious to find out.
