Reading this filled me with a lot of emotions. I like that way you allowed us to know the different povs, and how well you portrayed them.
If he closed his eyes, he could almost feel the warmth of his wife's hand nestled within his own, or catch the sound of his daughter clattering away in the kitchen. If he concentrated hard enough, he could hear the tinkling of his grandson's laugh bringing his apartment back to life.
And this part made me wanna cry because I really felt how heartbreaking it is to reminisce about something that you know you can't experience anymore.
I was starting to feel like it was holding me hostage, so tonight, I let it go. I need to move on to the next one!
ahahaha I can really relate with this! There are really times that the stories that I left off made me feel like this. I can't really function well if I can't let it go and write it all up, so I do finish it so that it won't bug me anymore.
So... I definitely enjoyed reading your story because it's really moving and full of sentiments—sentiments that I think all of us can somehow relate to.
aw, I'm glad the emotions were conveyed in a way that touched you. I work hard to find the right words in my stories. I'm glad it makes a difference to how they are read and appreciated.
And yes! Stories that hold us hostage hahaha. I'm glad to find someone else that can relate to the experience! 😂
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I appreciate you 💗💗
It really takes effort to find the right words to convey the emotions you want your story to emanate—and the hard work totally paid off because what I've read was indeed a lovely one.
You're welcome @samsmith1971, and good day!
