It is week 98 of the Saturday Centus, and to celebrate, Jenny has challenged us with only 98 words including the use of the prompt which is "it was only 98 cents ..." Here's my little offering!
It had been a beautiful life; years spent in each other’s
company, first just the two of them, then the growing family. Finally just the two of them again
until the day that he passed. It
was her turn now, she felt the cold coming, but she was not afraid, she knew
that she’d be with him soon. Her
daughters found her the next day … curled up in her bed, clutching his photo
and a dimestore ring. It was only
98 cents back then, but it was with this tiny token, they had cemented their
young love.
thanks so much for joining me ... late as usually but i am blaming St Patrick's Day ... tee he he ...

Oh Jo. What a tenderly sweet story.
I loved this.
It's not how much the token cost...it's how much love was behind it.
