But they didn't end up getting married. I think this is THAT tale. What an incredible sacrifice to your writing, Shell, that you can walk back through all the romance that led up to the pain (if it's the story I think you're telling) just to get the words down that have to be written. Sometimes we have to give so much of ourselves, at our own expense and even at the expense of others, just to get the story told, just to express it appropriately full of passion and commitment the the word.<br /><br />I'm so thrilled that you're doing this. You are driving me crazy by dragging it out though. :)<br /><br />Plus, I don't think you could write so romantically about your husband. I love your foreshadowing and comparisons in the italic statements. For example, you emphasized that the store is now abandoned and overgrown with weeds ... I believe to illustrate how that is what's happened to the love that once was. The same thing with noting that the hotel is unrecognizable, that everything has changed but the location...as if to foreshadow that all that is now left of your love is the story. The words. And the haunting of what once was.<br /><br />I love you, girl. Thank you for sharing your story, your words.✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.com
