I can really relate to this, and it made me cry. Well done.

Thank you <3

Yeah, you put tears in my eyes - wanna fight about it?

This was really, really good. So full of emotion and so well-written. Thank you for thanking me for reading, but mostly thank you for giving me this to read in the first place. I loved it.

I'm sorry for making you cry! I got teary too, writing it, because I have recently lost someone close to me, so while it's not non-fiction, it is based at least a little in that loss.

Thank you for reading, and taking the time to leave a lovely compliment. <3

My best friend lost her dad to prostate cancer after she graduated college. He never got to walk her down the aisle or meet his new grandbaby.

I'm so sorry :( I lost my "second dad" recently, and it hit me a week or two ago that he's not going to be around to see me to get married, and I lost it. I know it gets easier, but dang, it's difficult not having them around for everything, big and little.

So beautifully told and it brought tears to my eyes <3

[me_sonrei]

This was so heartfelt and extremely well written, including the dialog. You had wonderful parents. I'm so sorry you lost your father.

Thank you. This is (mostly) fiction, thankfully -- I lost my "second dad" recently, but my actual dad is very much alive.

"Second dad" was someone close to the family who was always around while I was growing up and who was present for a lot of the big 'life moments', like high school/college graduation, family weddings, etc. He was a great guy and I still feel that hole in my life where I expected him to be. Small backyard wedding or not, I always thought he and my dad would be the ones to walk me down the aisle together.
