That was sad and beautiful - reminded me of how I felt at the end of the Sixth Sense when I realized I'd been filling in blanks that weren't there. Nicely done!

Thanks so much! I hadn't thought of it like that, but filling in blanks that weren't there - I like that! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I don't usually read Spander, but this was very touching. I'm glad I stopped by.
