Nice Writing. Your story and conversation flow nicely. There is a solid beginning, middle and end.

I was warmed by the story, and saddened by the unfortunate truth that far too many aging souls spend their last days in cold environments like nursing homes, and not in surroundings inhabited with family. I also love, love, loved the birthday party for your Christopher. It was unexpected and so sweet.

Correction: I believe you meant to use the word an in your description. You have, "Distant memories become in impromptu birthday party in a cemetery." I think you meant, Distant memories become an impromptu birthday party in a cemetery

Suggestion: In my personal opinion, I think this short work deserves a stronger name. Consider something like:
1. Phantoms--Loved Ones All but Forgotten . . . or
2. Echos--Unforgotten Souls . . . or
3. Attic Memories, and Phantom Souls

Suggestion: I also think you can punch up the description and not give away the sweetest part of the story--the birthday party. IDK, something like: A Centenarian reminisces about obscure apparitions.

Suggestion: I think you could target other genres with this piece and expand your reach. Consider: Drama, Emotional, LGBTQ+.

I did not ding you any stars because the piece is complete and doesn't warrant any penalties. My suggestions are merely for possible improvements.

Thanks you for sharing your story. True or not, it is sweet and it touched my heart.

Live and write passionately,
Cyndee
