Really great story! I cried with you about the guy memorializing his dead friend. We can only hope to love people on this Earth who love us back quite so fiercely as he did. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️

You're very welcome. If you can write with that kind of power and vivid emotional force, you're better than 95% of people trying to do it (including a lot of respected and successful authors).

One reviewer of Fitzgerald's first ("This Side of Paradise," 1920) wrote "Mr. Fitzgerald's novel fails almost every literary test, except the most vital: it does not fail to live."
