In paraphrase of famous lines: And the old man lived with no other thought/ Than to love and be loved by Thee.

Review by: ashaindel on Feb. 28, 2012 :
The characters are true to life. The author once again uses her craft with pathos to deal with the sensitive issue of old age & infirmity. Ms. Hays is a skilled storyteller. Worth the read. I. Kahn Feb. 28, 2012

Review by: Suzy Stewart Dubot on Dec. 30, 2011 :
A short story of our times, it is well written with great sensitivity. The people (not 'characters') will remain with me for some time to come... I can recommend this without hestitation.
