Curtain Call - chapter 14

Jan 23, 2010 23:04

Got sidetracked the other day and ended up working on an entirely different fic for several hours.

As with most of the earlier chapters this has not been beta read.

The chapter was very honest and painful….
My mother did 6 different chemos in all and I often wonder how many she did for herself and how many only for my sisters and me…. It is so sad, but if you see a loved one suffer than you are able to let go….

PS: I hope the other story which got sidetracked the other day is an BSG A/R one as well?!?!?!?!?!.

I'm so sorry for what you all had to go through. If you don't mind my asking how long ago did your mother pass?

It means a lot to me that you were able to read this story without being completely put off.

The other story was indeed an A/R one. It's a very long one and I'm honestly beginning to suspect I'll never get around to finishing it in its entirety, but I find I just can't walk away from it. I came across the first draft of the chapter that introduces Tory as a permanent cast member and offers an explanation for Bill's bizarre behavior in the morgue after Billy's death. For some reason I just had to finish cleaning it up.

My mother died October 2007 but it doesn’t feel like over two years already. The saying “Time will heal all wounds” is only half the truth. Some wounds never fully heal only the pain changes somehow. In the normal course of life we are all doing fine but holidays like Christmas and birthdays are still so difficult. Than it is so obvious that somebody who should be there is not there anymore…

I like to read about Bill's bizarre behavior in the morgue after Billy's death someday…..

I know what you mean - especially about the holidays. My favorite uncle passed a year ago. He lived - along with most of the rest of my family - a few hours drive away so I didn't get to see him very often, but I would make the drive 4 or 5 times a year. Since he died I've only gone once because the loss is so noticeable when I'm there.
