I'm not usually a happily ever after person, but I liked that she was able to find true love. This was beautifully written, and did capture the required romance and essence of the prompt.<br /><br />Thanks for participating in this weeks RFW prompt. It has been a pleasure reading your excerpt.<br /><br />.......dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-42288404612102753442012-06-17T11:03:33.408-07:002012-06-17T11:03:33.408-07:00This is a beautiful piece on forgiveness and satis...This is a beautiful piece on forgiveness and satisfaction in retrospect.Rek Seshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484322426994645221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596586419077019479.post-90914070554259194042012-06-17T07:22:57.776-07:002012-06-17T07:22:57.776-07:00Forgiveness is good as it allows us to move one.

It's when you forgive those people that you free yourself from all that pain and anger.. you free yourself from those chains that tie you down. Something I have learned so well through in life.
