Oh my God, Sean! You may have lost your sight, but you have retained an incredible beauty of the written/spoken word. I’m so happy for you and Robin, that you have each other for this amazing wonderful thing called ‘love.’ Bless your sweet soul and may you continue writing forever. The world needs more writers who can express the exquisite in basic ways. You have a command of the English language and you are its captain. I thoroughly enjoyed “A Graveside Nuptial” as I pored over your intensity, your beauty, the opening of your soul. Thank you so much for sharing your wedding gift with us. Linda Robertson, Clovis CA

What a beautiful essay. I love the elegance of the opening, the lovely twist at the end. I love this line in particular: “Here, now, the words of love have taken on new meaning, have attired themselves in defiant optimism.” I hope you continue to write words of defiant optimism — and publish them so we can read them!

This easily is one of the most moving essays I’ve ever read. Not only was my “manhood” compromised by having to dry my eyes several times, but I also was slightly annoyed knowing that someone stole my idea of true love. haha. In all seriousness, never have I been so touched by such a beautifully crafted essay. I almost didn’t compose a comment due to my inability to articulate as perfect as you did! I’m just blown away!! Thank you so much for your honesty and conveying of your emotions of which I seemed to have felt each and every one.
