Omg, you've broken my heart. *wipes eyes* Beautifully done.

Thanks. I was trying to break someone's heart! No, not really but glad you liked it.

This was really well done.

I took care of my grandmother through dementia. It's not easy. Good luck, and please remember to take time for yourself.

It was hard and he wasn't that bad when I was there but he kept repeating the same questions over and over again. Thanks. Glad you thought it was well done.

Oh my God, this was hard to read! You do know how to bring the angst, D.

I do love angst. Also I needed to get some of my anger out onto the page. Dealing with my dad was hard.

The range of emotions Merlin feels is complicated and heartbreaking. Seeing loved ones fade is very difficult.

Take care.

Thanks. It's always hard to see a loved one failing. Glad you liked it.
