This is a story of a young couple. The woman, Violet, ends up having Alzheimers and is losing her memory. Her husband retells her their love story everyday in hopes that it will get her to remember something. I really enjoyed the description of the emotions that the characters were feeling. It allowed for an easy connection to the characters. The only questions and suggestions I have would be to give it something that makes it unique. I mean that in the most gentle way possible. Just because right now, it really just seems like a retelling of The Notebook for me. My questions also rely on whether or not the story needs to be that broad. There was so much that happened within 9 pages, I feel like there is a more impactful story somewhere within this piece that would hold more gravity for a short story.
