As a lover of sappy, goopy romantic things – I LOVED reading this post! How wonderful for all of you.

The world doesn’t have *enough* romance in it – and I think that is a loss for society as a whole. We don’t know how to be mushy and romantic anymore and it’s a bit sad.

Glad to see Sharon is keeping the Mush alive and well – and inspiring others to do the same!!!

Thank you for posting this wonderful true story! I used to pride my somewhat cynical nature, but not where love stories are concerned. Love the reference to The Princess Bride as it is among my three favorites which, of course, include P&P and Moulin Rouge.

Sharon, your husband loves you so much – what beautiful thoughts he has expressed on this journal and how proud he is of you and your work. You are very blessed indeed!!

Oh Sharon, what a lovely post! I cannot tell you how happy I am that your books have brought so much joy and love to other people. I don’t have to tell you that even those of us who do not have a Darcy still love to read your stories of what can really exist and should! Thank you for inspiring us all and for reminding us in this cynical world that love can be real between two people. 🙂

I am happy to see the inspiration that my wife’s book has brought people. This example was exciting for me since it shows how much love can grow when two hearts both want more of each other and are willing to die to self to get it. True love, to so many, seems to be an illusive myth and is often scoffed at, yet it is attainable when two people are willing to serve the other and have a deep passion to know more of that special one. Can two really become one? Yes I do beleive it. Will it require sacrifice and effort? Yes! So where does the jaded view that soul mates and the pathway to becoming one is something legends are made of. Well, look around and see what is portayed on the big screen and is pervasive in modern society. Ideas that you should get what you want out of a relationship irregardless of what the other requires. That somehow it’s all about you? It’s no wonder that people think its impossible, because a love seeking only its own doesn’t have the strength to make the journey. One could suggest quite easily also that real love…love that seeks another’s good above one’s self… would be more successful in getting you deeper into your soulmate than any other means. If my wife’s writings inspire a strong committed love within the bonds of a covenant relationship, then I’m excited about it. The idea that two shall become one is attainable, is true. In fact, it’s enjoyable. I can think of no better example than Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam, who overcome all obstacles to seek more of each other. Now that’s passion, now that’s love, and I for one am all for it. I’m reminded of that verse, "Now abide faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love."

Goodness what can I say. This has to be one of the most romantic gestures ever. Thanks to "S" for allowing you to share the beautiful romance this gorgeous couple share.

I can’t believe "R" actually took the time to read your Saga. He obviously cares a great deal about the happiness of his darling wife. Wishing you "S & R" both a lifetime of the same sweet devotion to each other.

Both you Sharon and "S" are extremely lucky to enjoy true happiness that is soul deep.

I hope everyone that reads your novel finds the enjoyment of learning how a beautiful love can be just like I did.

Thank you Sharon. God Bless

Oh Sharon,
How lovely. Thank you for affirming that love is truly
glorious. You made me get teary but only I assure you from happy memories. You are the best!
Fondly,

By the way, the photo of the couple kissing is from the fabulous fairy-tale, ‘Princess Bride.’ It is, hands-down, one of the best fantasy love stories ever written and brought to film. If anyone who reads this has not seen this movie, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Run, don’t walk, to your nearest store and buy the DVD. I promise you will not be disappointed. I will leave you with a quote of Miracle Max: "True love is the most noble cause of all."
