Comment from WalkerMan
One never knows what a chance meeting can eventually lead to. Yet, how much joy in life can be missed by not revealing what is in your heart before the moment passes? You bring this to life vividly in this story, which, while fiction here, may be near reality for many.
From setting details to dialog, it is all plausible, and tugs at the heart of anyone with even a remote connection to love lost over failure to hold onto it before it could slip away.
Yes, Providence sometimes sets things right in the last few moments, but not always; so such rare occurrences are precious:
... I'm sure you'll enjoy "Strangers on a Train."
"Till There Was You" has ideal lyrics for this story.
Superb, and aptly illustrated as a flashback to their fun in the park.

Dear Mike, thank you so much. I remember this period of time so vividly, and just had to sculpt a love story around it. "Till There Was You," is my all time favorite 'Fab Four' song. I feel that way about Jackson. I'm delighted you enjoyed it, and I so appreciate the wonderful review and stars!
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal :))

You are most welcome, Sal. You have a way with these stories that everyone loves. This will be another great book someday. -- Mike
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Sal.
This one hit right in the solar plexus because of the time frame. I was drafted in '67.
The story of lost love is such a sad refrain. This story is quite sad and combined with the nostalgic memories of the music, brings back memories. This is a heart wrenching story. It is well written with many detailed descriptions of that day.

Comment from Tina Crute
I got chills when I read the note from Alice! I laughed several times through this because you have a comic edge at times and I love it. you see the funny in life. I laughed at...too jiggly...and...butt hanging out of a nightie,lol. You are doing what you are meant to be doing, Miss Sally, and we are all the better for it. you "see" things we don't, I would garner to say. You see deep in the heart of emotion and relationships.
Your story deserves a six!

Comment from Cindy Warren
Too bad they lost touch. I guess some things just aren't meant to be at the time. And who knows about the future. People do recover from stage four cancer. It's rare, but it happens.

Thank you for the delightful review and for catching that. I put it through FanStory edit... twice. I appreciate the catch and those good eyes. I'm honored and blessed once again.
My voice over text saves misspelled words for some reason. I wish it wouldn't. It drives me crazy.
Sending you my best to you both today as always,

Is it the Dragon Speak programme? O had that for a long time here in Australia if you spoke with a Southern Drawl from your country it often picked up better than Aussie English. Byt the way I forgot to say I loved that old song "Till There Was You"

Know, just voice over test on my iPad Pro. Has an attitude though. I adore that song. My favorite from the early years of The Beatles. Blessings and thanks again!!

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is a vivid image. I like thefollow through. It mkes the action like a movie in the reader's head: "Not long after that, our train came to a screeching halt. Everything on our table flew past me, along with Ali. I caught her by the waist and pulled her to me, cradling her in my arms." It's a bit like watching the domino effect. It also serves as a metahor for the relationship. Do I detect a foreshadowing? "Volunteers come by the patient's rooms regularly to deliver books and offer to read aloud." There had to be a way to reunite them. This was lovely.
