Oh, ouch. I like this.

Thank you!

Wow! I'm not always into these type of fics, but yours is really good! I love the idea of writing in a book but no one looking at what has been written. Very moving.

Thanks - I'm glad you found it moving. I was caught by the idea of that sort of private farewell / letting out of feelings.

I liked this. It's quiet and somber, which fits the subject matter perfectly.

julietink October 5 2009, 13:39:57 UTC

Thank you!

I was worried this was going to be a deathfic for John. It still brought tears to my eyes though.

Sad story, but really well written. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!

(don't think I'm capable of writing deathfic - I would get too sad myself! :) )

I really like this idea instead of a list -- actual remembrances, expressed, shared or not. Very evocative.

julietink October 5 2009, 13:40:50 UTC

I'm glad you like the idea - it was the privacy of it that I was caught by when it came to mind.
