I ran right over to Back Alley and read your story. Kudos! Creative and fresh, as always.
Coincidentally, your picture today of James Gardner reading to, is it Gena Rowlands(?), is from the movie The Notebook, which I caught mid way on tv last night. Must be my tenth time but I never tire of it. I guess its the romantic in me. Who knew?
Richard-I took two week off but I will post your link anyway. Thanks for the kind comments, friends. If you want to see this at 300 pages, I have that too.

Looking forward to reading it, Patti!
Congratulations!
A really fine story; I enjoyed it immensely.
Thanks so much. Terrie, yes I thought it must be. I've never seen it-always seemed too sad. AWAY FROM HER almost undid me.
Great stuff, Patti! Thanks for the tip, I had no idea.
BTW, I will have a Friday Forgotten Book this week on my blog.
Quite the story and yet not really a stretch. I liked how you got him to give his permission before his sad demise.
