I love shipping and fishing ports, and big boats. I can almost smell the fish when reading this post!

This is a real heartbreaker of a story, @marsdave. You did well with this prompt! I liked how the narrator did what little he could to provide comfort. It's all anyone can do in such a situation.

I love this story, but it made me cry. I just wanted so badly for her to have that friend, and for both of them to be survivors together. This is one strong and resilient young lady, though. At the end,

What a wonderful tribute to your beautiful bride. Happy Anniversary!

What a beautiful place with lush flowers and greenery!
