a good story

Several months ago a man came into the store where I work and he was telling me his wife was not expected to live much longer. I really wanted to do something for the guy so I just gave him one of my books a life worth living for her to read. Well she passed away a couple of days ago and he came into the store today and thanked me for the book and said he was reading it to her just before she passed away. That story touched me that my book could be used in such away.

So now matter what the critic says it is things like this that make what I write worth while.
