Marsabi, you took us on a bitterSWEET, wonderful journey. Bitter - because of their pain and struggle, SWEET because their love was curled around each and every letter, we could see and feel it! The ending: Perfect: It's promise but not tidied up and older kids don't die from SIDS.
I loved your other stories too - but this is an especially perfect one! Thank you!
Thanks so much!I wanted you to feel the longing/love the whole way through!
I really wanted to not make it all perfect and "tidied up" --- so yay! --I'm so glad it seemed that way to you. I went back and forth (like a crazy person, lol) about even having Jesse and Sophie there at all in the fic...In the end, I wanted to honor Charlie most of all,and show that she will never be far from their minds, even while still giving them hope of a future...You know? Sorry to babble on, but you hit on something that I truly tried to be sensitive about...
Thanks so much! I am happy to know that you enjoyed it, and sad/sweet was just what I was going for...I truly appreciate that you took time to comment here!
This story was everything. It was amazing, heart breaking, fun, lighthearted, sad, etc. I loved every second of it. The story of Charlie took me by surprise, which is great, and completely broke my heart. It was also great to fast forward through that pain and suffering and get to the part where they are getting back on track. :) Thanks so much for this wonderful story.
Oh, that thrills me to hear, hopperl! Sorry for the heartache (it was , for sure, my most angst-filled fic). I wanted to explore the idea of their love never stopping, but an event really testing them too...
