Hi Giedre, thank you for reading 'Request' and acting upon it. I'm grateful. First, let me add my commiserations when learning you're battling with your talent at the moment. You are truly gifted.

I enjoyed the way you wrote about the sensuality aspect of this story. It read the way she felt, not as the author felt, if that makes any sense. There is a lesson I must learn. It's not about the author but the character.

There are many years age difference between myself and my wife, so there were many aspects of the story that felt poignant.

I'll say again, I'm grateful for your help and example.
