The Watcher: Book Three... Farewells

I am a member that has been long inactive, but suddenly rediscovered GA.  During my recent exploration of GA I stumbled upon Headstall's author page and read several descriptions of books I might want to read.  I selected The Watcher to start reading because it was short, and I wanted to see if I like his writing.  I loved the story, because it was sweet and hopeful.  Headstall crafts his story very well.  I continued with The Watcher: Book 2 and Book 3.  I fell in love with the characters and was inspired by their transition from lonely gay widowers to a loving relationship living an active life again.  The story focuses on gays in their senior years which is not common, but is valuable to LBGTQ people of any age.  We all need to understand that we can live gracefully, happily and even sexually our entire lives. I wish that I had this story to read many times in my life when I faced transitions.  I hope others will take the time to read this great story.

A sweet third installment to the Watcher series.

Saying goodbye to the past doesn't mean you have to forget it, it just means you are making a new future. 

This has a few laughs in it (cramps at the wrong time  ) and has a real feel good feeling to it.

We are social creatures, built to make connections, best when we love another more than ourselves. This series, The Watcher, explores the physical loss of a loved one and the psychological aftermath. 

Carefully and considerately Headstall writes my greatest fear: being the partner left behind. 

Whether you are 18 or 80, mated or alone, you need to read this, these short stories of love lost and found. 

Why? They fill my heart with hope and I know they’ll do the same for you. Tales like these help me stay in love with love.

The third and hopefully not the last in The Watcher series. Although love and intimacy are serious aspects of relationships this is realistically balanced with enough humour to give it a real-life feel. Reading this story is an absolute delight.
