Oh God! I was BAWLING when I wrote that! And the most amazing part of it was that I totally didn't plan that dialogue beforehand. I was just sitting here typing away, and the words "don't grieve for me" appeared on the monitor and I just LOST it! So I have to tell you that it means a lot to me that you specifically mentioned that, because, yeah. Did I mention BAWLING? :)
Thank you so much! I really love this story, (which is kind of rare, because usually I'll find a million things I want to change or fix!) and it's the most gratifying thing ever to know that others love it, too!
(This time I only found about 20 things to fix/clarify! :-P)
