sr71plt,
do. Children have no concept of time. But writers aged as they may be, have. Amazing skill at writing sr71. and.. amazing concept of aging.
Wonderful story and thanks for sharing on Lit.

from one who has experienced the heroine's plight, you sound like someone who has been there, literally, or have watched closely as someone close did.
love, desire, need don't stop at 50,60,70...
good story, very insightful.
You made me cry. Maybe because I'm soon to be a Jan, without ever having had the experiences to help me cope. Wow! This is a marvelous tale of redemption and recovery and relief. And best of all...love!
A poignant depiction of slipping into dementia, and the bonding with Sadie. If only more of us could have the kind of friends and lovers and, hopefully, children that the protagonist does. Nicely written in a rhythm that fits the story perfectly.
I very much enjoy May-December stories, but this is an angle that I’d never considered—what if May tragically dies first? You handled this question with great sensitivity. 5 stars.
