Augh! This is so perfect. And bittersweet. The simple "Come in, my dear" just wrenched my heart.

[nakeisha]

Thank you very much indeed.

I'm really touched this moved you so much.

[aingeal8c]

*sniffles*

Oh that was very touching.

It can never be over.

I like the 'Come in my dear' symmetery too.

So emotional.

[nakeisha]

*Hands over tissues*

Indeed it can't be.

Thank you very much.

I'm really pleased to hear it touched you.

[aingeal8c]

Thank you *blows nose*

Oh indeed.

YW.

It did indeed, yes.

[nakeisha]

You are welcome.

*Sighs*

I'm so glad.

It can never ever be over.
It will never ever be over.

Ducky's phrase "My dear" can evoke so much when he is speaking to Jethro

[nakeisha]

Indeed it cannot or will not.

He uses that phrase in so many ways, as Jethro uses 'Duck'.

Thank you for reading.

*sobs in a very quiet way*
I believe this is so sad, because even as it is very wrong, it can be in any other way.
It doesn't matter how hard they try: as Jethro says, as Ducky believes: they will never be over. They cannot be over

[nakeisha]

Oh, thank you for your emotional reaction to this. I'm really pleased it touched you so much.

It is sad, yes for the reasons you say. It is wrong, but it's also right. It has to be because it has to be.

Indeed. And being such good men they would have tried, but . . .

*Hugs*
