You had me flat-out bawling. Like a little baby.

I hate goodbyes. Really really REALLY hate them. I don't deal well with them. At all.

I've had WAY too many in my life. And I can't watch them or read them. I can't read death stories, and I can't even watch "All Hell Breaks Loose" or "No Rest for the Wicked" because of the goodbye. I mean, yes, I *watched* them, when they first aired, but I can't RE-watch them. It's way, way, way too painful.

And this was painful. So hard. I think it was Sam's tears and Dean's acceptance and that Dean is SUCH a good brother, that he still kept his promise, that we know that he'd been looking forward to the celebration of Sammy's eighteenth birthday, and that it had to breaking Dean's hear that he couldn't be there, but that they did their best anyway, and it breaks MY heart

Great chapter. I loved it, even though it was so sad. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Aw, man. This just aches. Aches beautifully, and the image of them sharing so much yet being so far apart is gorgeous ... but it aches. Oh, boys.
