What a wonderful, well written story.

I have to admit that you made me almost feel sorry for Minmei. Almost. A part of me wants to give her a hug and the other part wants to yell at her and tell her it is her own fault and she has no one to blame but herself. She wasted her life away on a man who no longered loved her and had moved on. Something she was unable to do herself. Poor Minmei.

Wow, a poignant and very well told tale of Minmei. A very sad life she's lead despite all the things she had obtained and I did appreciate how this story contrasted all the worldy successes she had gained with the inner loss of not ever gaining the love she had craved. I've never been a Minmei-hater or lover, just had always felt sad for her. This was a good story to put that into words and thank you.

Sad, and yet makes sense for Minmei. Great story. Look forward to reading your future works. Until then, take care and god bless.

Holy cow, you've done it again! I LOVE it! You're so good at expressing emotions! Kudos!

I think the ending was a little abrupt. You could have let the bashing continue a little longer! XD

I really enjoy your writing! :D More More More!

Hullo. Just a couple of nitpicks:

2nd par: "had giving" probably should be "had given"

4th par: "...had wanted a child once with Kyle. But changed her mind..." My suggestion: "had wanted a child once with Kyle, but changed her mind..." or "But she changed her mind..."

Question: Why would Andrew C. Jordan, attorney-at-law, bother to inform Minmei about Rick's death?

In the par. beginning w/ "The heady fragrance of honeysuckle...": "...she had always found COMFORT in her home and its surrounding greenery."

I nitpick because your style of writing reminds me so strongly of my own... gotta check my work again. Keep it up. Good job.
