I had my suspicions that Selene was there in spirit and not in corporal form, but to Gus she was a tangible as he needed, still keeping him company and helping him out.
This is a well told story of love in several forms.

    Wow, W.J. -- those stars are beautiful!! ;) You know, this one I wrote late the night before the contest because I had been so busy with school coming to an end (FOUR days... count 'em down with me!!)... but I started writing and cried as I wrote -- can you believe it? But, seriously, I'm sure there were tears in there for other things (stress, for one - ugh!), but I was a mess when I finished! Soooo glad it was late or my boys would have been worried about me because 'Mom never cries'!! :) ;) Thanx again, my lady, and you take care out there! ;) Yvette

I'm thinking that Selene was a heavenly angel. You write such fascinating stories that it makes you think while you're reading, and then when you get done reading, you must go over it with a fine-tooth comb. A great family story and a visit by the angel, Selene. Or was Selene alive?

    Naaah... Selene wasn't really there, only in Theo's heart... :) Thanx for your review, Rosy - so glad you enjoyed, my lady!! :) Yvette

Incredibly well written story that is very moving. I knew some surprise was coming, but I didn't know what. You are a great storyteller. I would give you six stars if I had it. Thanks for sharing this story. Bill

Very well written story. Conversations are natural, flow easily. This plays well in concealing Selene's identity. Their rapport is fluid and keeps the reader unsuspecting. When the time comes, the story loses no clarity, there is a small "aha" moment and all makes sense.
Your story is heartfelt and relatable to many. Your writing
carries dignity and allows for many smiles. I enjoyed this write, it has a
professional feel to it.
This story should do well in the contest and I wish the
writer well.
Peace,
Richie b

    Wow- such an awesome review! Thank you so very much for your detailed comments... I'm so glad that you enjoyed Theo's tale of him and his Selene on his birthday!

This was such a sweet story. I love how Teddy loved Selene and followed her directions, and the underlying meaning of his "come to Jesus" moment, but not today.

Excellent story throughout, and now, Teddy, the lawn needs a haircut.

His Selene would always (be) a part of him, but today? Today he and his family were celebrating his birthday!

A beautiful story that I enjoyed reading. The storyline was great. You did a great job especially making me believe she was still alive. She was for him. Good luck in the contest. Stay well. Shirley

What a lovely happy family story! If only all families could behave like this towards each other always! Sadly arguments intervene in amongst the happy moments. However, your story reminds the reader of all the happy moments. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

I thought this was wonderful. I suspected Selene had departed, her spirit near Teddy, and her memory alive. I still hear my mother's voice in my head. (She fussed at my messy cookbook just today.) This was sweet and endearing. I hope your readers got this one.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the contest, mystery writer.

Sigh....how deep and beautiful. I picked up about 1/2 way through that he was "remembering" his wife when she kept telling him to do this or that. Very well done and engaging!!

Good luck in the contest! xoxo

    Oh, I'm so very glad that you enjoyed my Theo and his Selene, Diana -- theirs was a story not written with dry eyes! Thank you so much for such a wonderful review and those shining stars - I will be sure to pass them along to the Theo and the girls!

You've made this beautiful dream sound so much like reality. It's as if she was right there with him all along. I like the memory of her that you've presented here so vividly and beautifully. Thanks for sharing this inspirational and well written work. Well done!
