That was very powerful, Jai. You always write so beautifully and I think the way the story flowed and the idea that Ashlee gave her life for his but not outright... more of a subtext really was pretty incredible.

*grin* You got what I was trying to say. Ashlee gave her life for his. I really worried that no one would like this story because of Ashlee's death at the end. I thought about warning people, *laughing* but I'm mean and wanted it to be a little bit of a surprise. Somehow I don't think it was though. Thank you so much for reading and replying, Jenny. ***hugs***

Amazing. What a wonderful depiction of our couple. An ultimate act of love .... and that's exactly what they are. You always do a wonderful job of making me feel like I'm right there seeing it happen. *many hugs* Tray

Thank you, Tray. *hugs* I was really nervous about this story because of the end. I didn't want to give it away so I didn't warn anyone. And I cried writing it. *laughing* I really need to stop killing these two. I've killed Coop and now I've killed Ashlee... I think I'm done. *grin* Thank you for the hugs. ***hugs back***

wow, that was like a big wall of emotion ready to ram us Cooplee lovers over... It was amazing. There are really no more words it was just that good! *hugs*

[jailynn24]

**hugs** I was really in an angsty "what if" kinda mood when I wrote this. But now I have killed both Coop and Ashlee and I think I'm done. *laughing* I'm really glad you liked it. Thank you so much for replying. **hugs**

BTW: When are you going to post another chapter of your story? *innocent smile* I can't wait to see if Ash is okay after saving Coop!

Another good job. I hated the fact that Ashlee died, but I also understood the logic behind it. You are an amazing writer. --BettyB

[jailynn24]

Thank you, Betty. **hugs** I really hate the thought of either Coop or Ashlee being dead, but this idea wouldn't leave me. *sigh* From now on though, no killing of the characters...I don't think. *laughing*

I loved this story. I mean your stuff always has depth and meaning to it, but this one had so many overlaying layers. Life and death, spirituality, prayer, and the notion of be careful for what you wish for. Was the ending sad? Yes. But the bittersweetness of the end was just too perfect. It really makes you think about prayer and making deals to save someone you love. I think we tend to forget that if you don't ask for something in the right wording, you run the risk of things turing out differently than what you intended. Oh boy, your story got me all philosophical now, haha. Let's just say I REALLY loved the idea and execution of this story. Awesome job!!! **hugs**

PS: I loved the exchange of one angel for another angel. It was just so poetic and beautiful, like Cooplee. ::sighs:: RIP Cooplee

[jailynn24]

Thank you again. **hugs** And yes, rest in peace Cooplee. *sigh* You'll live in my stories for as long as I can write. *grin*

This story was sad, even for me. While I was typing it I really got teary eyed because of how much it spoke to me. I couldn't explain why, but I think you just did. It really was a story about the power of prayer, the belief in something greater and being careful about what you say. Killing Ashlee was difficult for me, especially concerning we lost Coop for real on the show. *sigh* Thank you so much for sharing your thought and giving me a better perspective on my story. ***hugs*** You rock, girlie!
