"One Sunday, my world changed forever; one minute he was sitting next to me in his usual spot and the next he was down on one knee..." I thought he was going to have a heart attack! I was so relieved when I continued reading it and found out what truly happened. :) I kind of agreed on CBCondez's comment about the grandchildren, because as I read the story, the image that popped in my mind was not grandson. But apart from that, well done! Happy to read a short story from you :) This was unexpected!

Tippex was my friend during school creative writing projects - hurrah for computers and their ability to make going back to edit bits easy :D Good to know it worked the way I wanted it to; it’s difficult to tell as the author whether you’ve had the desired effect so thanks very much for that :D

I totally agree with, "Content with life and holding hands." To me, love isn't about grand statements and huge gestures. You have captured my thoughts exactly! Lovely! This poem really warms your insides up!

You set the scene really well. My mind was completely on the wrong track when you stated, "One Sunday, my world was changed forever..." I thought this was going to be a sad story, where one of the characters died or left. I was so relieved when I didn't have to reach for the hankies! Good story! I've often wondered if people have their outline of their story first and know how they want it to end, or do they just go with the flow and see where their pen takes them?! Great intro! You set the scene really well.

I like the fact that you had kept that detail until the end. One thing, though... I think (and this is just me) it would be more effective if the grandchildren were girls (or at least one of them). Boys wouldn't really giggle, they would grunt horribly and make disgusted faces at seeing their grandparents kissing. =D Good read! Oh my, the chairs made you think of old people, too!
