I was immediately drawn to the characters in this touching story. Because your work often includes the supernatural, I thought Maria had returned from the dead when I read, "Hey, you old cow". How nice it was the nurse. She knew just what Ginny needed.
My absolute favorite thing about your writing is how you so consistently pack a novel's worth of character development into much shorter stories. And you do it with expert precision as well, as the details never feel forced or a single word out of place. Always in awe. 👏
I loved this short story..reminded me of all the Sweet old dears I took care of in the Hospitals I worked at, and now at 75 I am going to be one lol, but not Just yet, I am pretty independent. 😁
I've been spending more time than I wish I had to at my mom's assisted living center, (I'd rather spend time traveling with her or something) and taking her to see her husband in the hospital. This hit me in all the feels this morning, and it's beautiful!

High praise, William! I love short form stories. Punch and walk away. Thank you for posting such a lovely comment.
You're so talented, Michele!
Thank you, @Jennifer Morrow!
Great story. Tough to read because it brings back memories of my mom and dad.
Thanks, Travis. Getting old sucks. Sending you virtual hugs and cookies. I appreciate that you read the story. :-)
I loved this. I had a knot in my throat too.
Thank you so much, Hanna!
Awww, that was beautiful! It made me cry. And I loved it!
Aw, V! :-) Thank you!
I do love stories when humans behave like the better side of being human.
Thank you so much, Fiona!

This is a masterpiece. It fit my mood this morning.
I know what it's like to lose a friend, especially if it's a best friend.
Your prose was beautiful, and I could feel the friendship in the conversation.
Thank you.
Thank YOU, Joseph. I appreciate your comment so much. I'm glad the story resonated with you.
