but now I am not sure I like your work as much. You take too much poetic license and don't check facts as you should for your storylines which ruins them for me. Sorry. I still read them.
I just finished reading this - great story as always. These songs have been lifelong favorites of mine.
You built the story nicely and handled the old girlfriend with compassion.
I liked the Rachel character a lot - she had so much compassion ... but it was her stubborness that kept him alive!

Another good story. Keeping up with your quality of writings, Keep active.
Overall the story worked, but when the first line after they get engaged is:
"As life went on, we saw a lot of each other."
It sure ain't literature.
What a sweet, loving story. Thanks DG, a story by you is always a pleasant occasion.
I guess most everyone expects a good story when written by you. This one is no exception. A very nice read, even wihout the sex. I watched the TV series also, so I was interested in your story. As always, very nicely done

A nicely written story but dear oh dear, how so very predictable a theme. Others, who are obviously fans of yours, have made praising comments but even some of those seem a little disappointed. There are one or two mistakes that have escaped your editing but they are of (off?) no great import.
Didn't Don Gibson first make 'I can't stop loving you' famous? He should have done; he wrote it!
Predictable plot, characters that don't develop, "they lived happily ever after" ending and uninspired writing.
I like most of DG's stories but this one didn't appeal to me.
I agree with the other readers who said that it is a good day when you have a new story posted .
Terrific story. You developed the characters very well.
Very uplifting, particularly to someone who had a loved one that was in a coma.
Keep on developing this type of story.
you didn't realy call that black chap Toby did you? You may have just as well named him Little Black Sambo. Tssk tssk. D G
DG,
The way you tell a story is just great. Take this one with a decidedly different story line, wow! Your attention to detail is great. If you keep writeing these wonderful stories, I'm going to run out of ways to say how much I like them. Maybe that's why your the writer and I'm not!!
This is another well written story by D.G. Hear. I respect his stories and read all of his new ones when I see them. D.G. Hear is a highly capable writing, takes considerable pride in his stories, and looks after every details. I like the way in which he includes music (so to speak) into some of his stories. Here, he does an excellent job. He always picks some of the great vocal tunes of "the Swinging Year" Like "You belong to me", populatized back in 1951 by Patty Page. This song brings back great memories to me, and tears to my eyes.
Yes, the story is a bit predictable. But D.G. Hear is such a good writer that one tends to overlook this, and to be totally dedicated to all his stories. You can't like all of the stories to the max. Thank you for your stories D.G. Hear!

I have never commented on a story before.You are the onley author I look to find.It is not important how graphic the sex.Your stories are enjoyable.Thanks
Excellent story. There is nothing else to say. Now for the rest of you little trolls on Literotica, this is Incoming, and I'll be back!
DG:
It may be a little sugary to some but this Horny 'ol Sailor loves it. Thank You. Ronnie W.
it seemed to me that this still needs a little editing, unless it was posted ass-backwards by the lit. people: there are paras that are almost word for word repeated and the time line jumps about like a kangaroo on meth.
tidy it up a little and it would have been 100
DG! How do you do it? You continue to produce stories of the highest caliber. This one pulled hard at the heartstrings of this 'old man'! Really the kind of happy ending I look for and love on LITEROTICA. Bravo! Pete.
A very heart warming, romantic story. He would have had to have been crazy to let Rachel get away. She was totally devoted to him and they hadn't even dated. Rachel sounds like a wonderful woman. Obviously she could have gone her own way long before he woke up. A true love story.
Well..another great one by the great one. I do like all your stories and it seems that each time you get better and better....thanks for a great story....Ole Reb es.com
You keep writing one great story after another. Every time I see your name as the author of a new story, I read it. You have the skill to develop characters and a story plot. I look forward to the privilege of reading your next story!
Maybe a bit too predictable to draw me fully in, but I enjoyed it nevertheless!
Thank you for this romantic ‘heart warmer’.
Wonderful romance and likable characters.
Well-done story and entertainment.
Thank you

Your well told tale shows genuine steps that a coma patient
might go through if they did recover; the honesty of the
emotions on everyone's part makes the story very special~!
Thank you, DG!
Another great story. I am truly glad that he found and realized his true love.
I am not sure how you do it, but your stories are so REAL and draw me in ... this was no different ... THANKS!!

Missed this one first time around. Probably because of the Romance Category, DG has a tendency to give my diabetes fits...
Really great until he gets out of the hospital and after that held up by the possibility that she might move ahead with another.
I was in a coma for only six weeks but when I awoke, I had forgotten 34 years, two wives and three children. I was also paralyzed mid-back. That was a heart wrenching story. Book-worthy. Almost as movie-worthy as my life story but would be easier to do.
Rachel is way too popular and way too easy. She may be dedicated to her patients, but I foresee her having a lot of trouble keeping other players out of her knickers.
Sorry pard, I completely disagree with you. Consider just the simple fact that Rach has spent 4 years taking care of him, in addition to the time together in school.
Just because someone is nice, outgoing and friendly does not make them a cheater.....
These are DGH characters and some actually have character - she was gregarious but careful - clearly -
She was always clear she was waiting for the right person - when he woke up she was his period -
They will be as happy as DGH can make two people LOL
Stephen King also wrote about the "Dead Zone" similar type of theme. But as a short story yours is quite good. I like reading some of your stories so keep up the good work. Owen
Where did he get the Dead Zone tapes from to return to Kelly?.Why didn't he get any compensation from the insurance company for the crash?.
Four years in a coma,but when he is released he can repair computers,get real.
Loved it. Jeff is a man of integrity, insight and heart. The main characters were well defined. So very well written. And best of all, no cuck/slut bullshit.
I loved this story. All the main characters are people of quality, integrity, heart and intelligence. The only one who seems to be more fierce than the other main characters is Rachel especially when she says ""I'm here for you, Jeff, but I have a life too. Until you're able to commit yourself to a one on one relationship I have a life too." She throws this phrase (I have a life too) East and West as if it were a threat: this does NOT sit well with me since she is portrayed as a mellow and helpful character. But this is certainly better than the other cuck/slut bullshit we read in too many other stories.
Overall: 5*

It's really sad that Rachel's best friend was a guy in a coma. "I could tell you anything." Well, duh. He was a captive audience. I'm sure he listened to all her opinions and gave great advice, too,
Don't accept that a bloke who has been in a coma for four years,can remember everything when he wakes up.
