A magnificently beautiful story ... Some might say that it was sad to read, and did not have a happy ending ... But I say, this story is perfect in that perfect timing of two people meeting, clueless that they would ever meet, who needed someone special in their lives at that precise moment in time. She gave you something no one else ever could have, and you gave her more than you will ever know, even though you do know ... This story is tender and touching to the very core of any heart that has ever had a first crush or first love, especially someone as special as I see that she was to you ... And you to her ... A wonderful memorial to her memory in keeping her memory alive ... Thank you for sharing ... Very well written ...

This is an amazing story! It’s sad, and I started to tear up. I’m sorry for your loss, and I have lost a friend too, he was like a grandfather to me and he passed away unexpectedly. This is really good! Keep up the beautiful writing!

Thank you for entering my contest. This story is so sweet. At the beginning I loved the characters and their friendship. By the end I felt tears. Congratulations!
The story is very touching. Its the kind of them that high-paying venues like Writer's Digest would seem to want--if you just stretched out some of the more important scenes a bit.
I'm confused as to how the blonde girl improved the life of the narrator. I'm almost wondering if her loss at 12 wouldn't be devastating. If she continued to be his only friend and he never got another friend, wouldn't he be destroyed by her death? So what I want to know is how she changed him so that either he was happy alone and by himself or he could make other friends with most of his previous self-consciousness caused by lack of confidence.

Yes, she changed my life by being my best friend. She gave me the confidance to stand up for myself when no one else would, she told me that I was worth something, that I have a purpose in this life. I will be sure to edit the scenes more thoroughly and I'll let you know when I do!
Thank you!!

Yes, you need to include what you just wrote here in a revision.
They said it was fine. But they wanted to know more about your Pen name. And they said it's due Friday, or maybe it's tomorrow, sorry I can't remember. Just message me when you get a chance. And they need the grammar fixed before we can share it on the blog.

And I edited it if you want to reread it and let me know what you think...
Hey C. Lee,
My name is DC. And, I have started an outline for a film titled "Salvation". And I was looking for additional writers. After reading your piece I think you would be a great help. I would like to send you some of my work. My email is [email protected]. I have a google hangout as well.
God! I just don't know what to say...I could feel it, all your emotions are clearly felt. That's the biggest compliment I can give to someone. You said that my poem made you smile, and I would say that your story made me cry. Of what I have seen until now, I can conclude that you've suffered a lot in life. I am sure, God must have something great for you in store for the future. Kudos to your courage and your story!
Thank you so much!

Straight away...Gripped. Such a beautifully well written peice of work. I really felt i was looking on seeing this little kid getting excited about having a new friend. The naievty was also extremly well written (the bit where he doesn't know what cancer)
The sad and sweet combination work great in this story. I can identify with the "freak" who feels left out and different. I have ADHD and as a kid it was difficult because I couldn't sit still or stop myself from talking to my classmates and couldn't pay attention to save my life! Still can't, lol
Thank you so much for writing this in a way others who may not suffer from learning disabilities can understand how it feels. Great piece and I'm also blonde so I appreciated that part too.
