Not sure if this is the one you want, but it's worth a read, as is the whole series:

There's another story of a similar vein I remember and looking for, but this should keep you happy for a few minutes.
I'm suffering from CRS, so this description may help jog someone elses memory for the name, if the plot seems correct to you.
Sweet love story, set in England in the late 1930s. Teens fall in love, IIRC she's from the banking class, he's working class and works on restoring a yacht. War is declared, she is pregnant, he goes off to Dunkirk as part of the evacuation fleet. Killed in action. Visits his love in a dream before moving on. Ends with her taking the baby sailing on the yacht the boy rebuilt.
My guess on that one would be https://storiesonline.net/s/37519/maid-elizabeth by https://storiesonline.net/a/Smilodon although I have not read it for years so some of the details may not match.
It was posted in 2002 and Smilodon last posted a story three years later.
