*Sobbing*

Very, very good! I liked how everyone had their own visitor, and that Remus and Tonks also became visitors.

I'd make this review longer, but I need a kleenex and I am not just saying that.

Oh, I'm sorry! I knew I was going to make people cry... but that was my prompt, I swear! But, glad you liked it despite this fact! :)

*sobbing too* Oh that was... beautiful!!!

Never truly alone. Never. None of them.

*sniffles* Thank you for writing this.

I'm sorry I made you cry... it was the prompt what did it, I swear! ;) Glad you liked it despite this, though. :)

joely, this is just... amazing.
its perfect angst throughout but inspiring angst somehow... you're never truly alone. what a sentiment!
i starting sobbing around the time andromeda's part came around, harder even than i did when i read DH and the mention of their deaths came up, because you made it really hurt me!
i love it, wholeheartadly.

Ah... then I seem to have hit that prompt fairly well, then! ;) Even though it was difficult, I had to get a positive message in there somehow... angst is all right, but I think if it can be hopeful, it's easier to stomach. But, glad you liked it, even if it did make you cry! :)

What a sad yet strangely uplifting tale.. The spirits are a beautiful idea, and the reactions of those who see them are very believable. I feel for poor Teddy without his parents, but it is encouraging to see that he will choose to live his life and honor the past as his grandmother does instead of wasting his time being angry. Thank you for a wonderful (quite literally) story.

Thank you. I, too, thought it was tremendously sad that Teddy was left an orphan, so I have wanted to show him with some resolution to his situation... even if he has to go through the spectrum of emotions before this. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

"Emotional subject matter", indeed! Each part is powerful in itself but the way they build upon each other until one reaches the sad, yet uplifting ending, is what makes this piece so incredible. You need to add a warning to the reader to have a box of tissue nearby. Excellent writing.

Oh, I knew I was going to make people upset with this one... *sighs* But, despite this, I'm glad you enjoyed the ending. The sadness is always balanced out eventually. :)

And what a lovely icon... Would I be correct in thinking it's one of your drawings?
