I'm struggling to see the screen through my tears. Lovely, if sad... Thank you!

Thank you so much. I'm sorry it took so long, but thank you so much for that quote. Really. ♥

It was worth the wait. Glad you found the quote inspirational!

OH YES! This was perfect, totally perfect. So in character and just, so...well...perfect!

Much love for you for this! :)

Thank you so much ♥

I was going to have them sit down and have tea at the end, but after such a long gap I was worried I'd lost Sarah and I couldn't seem to get her right. No matter what I did she ended up sounding too young or too old. Possibly because I've developed her character since writing this... but ack. So I just ended it like that instead.

Well those little tykes can sometimes be hard to get into character.

I like how it ended - that sometimes it's just the going through the motions that's sometimes comforting. For those of us who have suffered loss, we understand this completely.

I need you...I always need you I totally <3 this line - it's so THEM! :)

I'm all teary now. Very good story. I like the names of the OCs.

ETA: The title really works.

*hands you tissues* I'm glad you liked it. Lots of thought when into the names of the OCs, they all exist in my own random canon. ;)

And THANK YOU. Really, titles are crazy to me. They always have to be perfect. So thank you for saying it works. ♥
