What a beautiful story, I enjoyed this so much. Intelligent and mature writing which tackled difficult issues sensitively without sugarcoating. This was a wonderful love story which at the same time showed the difficulties that can arise in a new and intense relationship (particularly when people have already lived and loved, and each come with their own sets of emotional baggage), and how they can be overcome. I absolutely loved this version of Edward (I imagined him looking like Rob does now, the mature and sexy Olderward!) This version of Bella I found a bit harder to get to grips with as she felt very different to the Bella I'm used to, but she won me over completely. The capacity to love so deeply on both their parts was so moving. I've read many Twifics but this was a standout. And the first one I've read where Jacob has been Bella's son - it makes an interesting change from him being cast as the unrequited lover, ex, friend, or pet dog! Thank you for your writing.

Wonderful story… absolutely wonderful! So many feelings, so much life, such profound moments… it was a deeply moving journey. Thank you for sharing so much of you in such powerful and beautiful words

Such a beautiful story

So, I’ve had this story in my files for the longest but the summary never convinced me to start it. What a mistake! I’m just I’m chapter 8 but I truly love it. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story.

hii, just finished rereading this story (i first read this years ago) and I just want to say how moved I am by this story. I feel compelled to write a review because I simply cannot keep all the things that this story has made me feel. This Bella has captivated and captured my heart in the best possible way. She is such an inspiration and can show us that the happiest people can also break and be consumed by their fears. She is so strong and her happy character and unique way of navigating life is so motivating and admirable. I got emotional towards the last chapter seeing Edward and Bella together, strong as ever, and their love for one another is so heartwrenchingly beautiful. Their love story makes me hopeful that it's never too late to love someone and love is patient and kind. I can truthfully say with my whole heart that I want to have a genuine love like theirs for myself someday.

This story tackles Alzheimer's and how it affects not only the person but their love ones as well, and it made me realize how life can get that hard and the importance of having someone be there for you for times like that. I am deeply moved by the fact that this story reflects some of the author's real life experiences and it genuinely makes me appreciate this story a lot more. I just want the author to know what a brave human she is for making this story and connecting with her readers through this and I am happy that through this story the author was able to let out her truth. It takes guts to do it and I admire it so much.

The last note in the last chapter made me emotional. I do hope that we all get our own wings and fly until we reach the genuine happiness that life will offer us. This story has a special place in my heart. I already miss this Edward and Bella. Some stories stick to you even when you've read hundreds of fics, and this story is one of those .

Great story and beautiful writing.

How old is stupidward?

Oh my! What a wonderful story! So much heartache and joy woven into it. I loved this version of Bella! So kind and selfless. And I liked how it was set in LA! Very dear place for me. Happy to have found your story! Thank you for sharing!

Hi I love your story ... And Edward idiot

Wow, a very beautiful story.. So so well written... You made me feel all the emotions... Thank you very much

It’s one of the most amazing stories I have ever read, thank you.

I don’t think I can read anymore but thank you for sharing. It’s a little too close.

Your writing style is beautiful!

This was a beautiful story.

...and now I want to smack Leo upside the head and tell him that he isn't Darth Vader.

Leo does not deserve to be punished by being set up by Lauren. She is the human version of a bedbug.
