*hugs a lot* The poems being juxtaposed that way was serendipity really, but I think it enhanced the... story? Artwork? so much. I'm glad it affected you so much, although of course I do not want you to cry at all. *hugs*

Oh god, this is so gorgeous and heart-wrenching. It's just such a testament to how much they loved each other. Lovely job.

Thank you so much. I admit, I was tearing up a bit myself by the time I finished this. Something about Gary and Lynne.

Wow... *chokes up* Awesomeness. I am impressed :)

Thank you! A good first banana, I think.

Oh, beautiful. Those little notes were exactly the right touch to make this so heart-wrenching. Lynne's thoughtfulness makes it very obvious how close they are, and how much it hurts Gary to have lost her. Wonderful job!

They adored each other. These notes help him, though; discovering things like this reminds him that she did live, and that in some ways she still does. Thank you.

This brought a tear to my eye. Very powerful.

Thank you. I'm glad it worked so well for you.
