First of all, I'm truly sorry for your loss. *hugs* Secondly, I think it was very brave of you to put so much of your heart and your feelings into this story. It's something to write a story and something else entirely to write a story that contains so much of your heart and soul for people to read. I'm truly glad that you did. I will admit that I did cry my eyes out, but take that as a testment to you writing beautifully and truthfully what some have a hard time putting into words. That's it's natural and okay to feel disbelief and denial, that wanting to know all the hows and whys make it more real and believable so you don't keep expecting the one you lost to turn up at some random moment, that it's okay to be angry that the person left you and it's okay to be selfish enough to grieve. That everyone grieves in their own way be it en-mass surrounded by loved ones or alone where no one can see. That little things seem to matter more and that the rest of the world is hard to see even if it does go on around you. Eventually you remember to remember the happy memories and vow to treasure them for all times. You hope to hold them in your heart and as long as you do that special part of the person you lost will never really be gone. You remember to live again for yourself and you don't have to be guilty for living anymore because you know that the one lost would want you to live. Thank you for writing this. It's very true to life and true to the characters. Really beautiful writing. --Mac
oh no! I didn't mean to make you cry. *pats head* I don't really know how to tell you how much this review means to me. Thank you so very, very much. I guess in the end it was pretty personal, but I didn't mean it to be that way. But I actually felt a lot better after writing it and it's weird, but i wasn't nervous at all about posting this, which is strange as I usually freak out. I think it's because I don't really care if people like this or not, because I really do and I think I wrote this more for me than anything else. But, that being said, when I read your lovely words I did feel very happy inside and I'm so so glad you thought it was true to life and that everything I was trying to say came through. Huge hugs to you. And thank you for being sorry. (I don't even think I'm kidding any more about the first-born thing...seriously)
