You're an amazing writer. I love your stories, especially this one. Succinct and oh so powerful. However, I'm sorry that I'm so clueless, but how exactly did she die? I don't quite get the 2nd part. I'm sorry. Still, this was beautiful.
I let out a sob when I finished reading it. I dont know, I just reminded me of the last funeral I went too. It's been several years old but I still remember the rain, the smell of cemetary and - yeah. You definitely captured the spirit and emotions of the people present in this story.
Wow! I don't know what precisely to put here. The short carries a sort of mysterious melancholy to it, because of the second and fourth part to the story. Not to mention the mans grieving sadness, which really brings the emotion in this short forward.
Lovely short. I especially the beginning and the soft descriptions.
