Well I don't cry too often with stories but this one got me. Pam saying promise me you'll go first was too much. The letter was perfect. In fact this whole story is perfect.
Author's Response: You are TOO KIND. Thank you so much for just so much encouragement.

I waited for when Pam would go to Jim and let him help her, but, WOW, you made it so much better than I could imagine. That was an amazing letter Jim wrote Pam, and so heart wrenching whe she asked to go first. What a beautiful job you did with this chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so so so much. So great of you to be such a loyal reader and reviewer.

I really like the idea of Jim dealing with Roy being there, and the family dynamic is really interesting, too!
I have an awesome little brother named Frankie, so I can relate to that ;-)

Oh dear, I can tell this is going to be a sad one, but I'm very intrigued! I love how you've portrayed everyone, especially Roy. Can't wait to read the rest!

AWWWWWW!! I love it when Jim writes Pam letters!!!
Beautiful story; I can't wait until it's finished.

Add me to the list of weepers...and trust me, that hardly ever happens to me with fanfic. This chapter was just true love on a page.
Such a well-calibrated follow-up to Jim’s confusion/angst in the earlier chapters. Bravo for making both ends of the spectrum ring so true.
Author's Response: True love on a page....wow. Colette. That's what I think of YOUR stuff...Wow. Thank you so much for saying that. This was just so satisfying to write. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Promise me you'll let me go first
Wow. Way to kill me at 10 in the morning. GUH. That was amazing. And heart-wrenching. And just YES. I'm going to stop before my rambling becomes truly incoherent. Well done.

LoveFool this continues to be awesome. And confusedbutohsoinlovewithPamJim is one of my favoritest Jims of all time. We should all be so lucky to have someone like him in our life. Really well done.

Oh...okay, I get it. This is where I'm supposed to leave some sort of coherent thought about this, right?
I'm sorry, but I can't do that right now. I'm afraid you've come along and pretty much swept every coherent part of my brain right off the 'ol table.
Yep.
So, uh... wow. :)
Amazing.
Author's Response: Cousin Mose! Thanks for the review! Sorry I broke your brain....but it seems like a good kind of broken, so I'll take it! :-)

'Breakable' is a profoundly tragic yet lovingly real work of art LoveFool. This chapter could have come with a 'have tissue handy' warning but other than that, it was perfection.

I don't know what to say or, rather, how to express my thoughts. I'm moved by this story. This was so touching, beautiful, genuine. I'm in awe.
Author's Response: Aw, thank you so much. I'm not sure what to say about all these reviews!!! lol. Thanks so much.

Aw; I'm sad that there's only one more chapter, but I've certainly enjoyed the ride. Quick updates, too!

Look, I'm an accountant, see? Adding one comma and subracting one comma...that's a wash. A zero sum balance. It amounts to nothing. But it was a sneaky way for me to read this first! MWAH HAHA! Bawling at 5:15 am on a Monday is just a great way to go. From the first image of Pam spooned up behind her mother by the light of the Christmas tree, I was a goner, and now I'm tearing up at work just thinking about it. You're so...great.
Author's Response: hehehe...thanks Jim hehehe. But now I know you're evil plan to get sneak peaks! lol

This is just so beautiful. Jim's letter to Pam? Perfect and right and just wow. It made me tear up a little. This story has been an emotional experience. Thank you!
Author's Response: Thanks GodinThisChilis! I'm so glad you liked the story so much. The letter was really fun to write and definitely the part that moved ME as the writer the most.

Damn you! I have to leave for work in 5 minutes and my makeup is ruined from all the crying. You are too good at this. Stop it.
Author's Response: hehehe...I'm so sorry for ruining your make-up! That seems to be going around! Thanks so much for the review! :-)

Ugh that was an ugly scene in the car...but in Roy's defense I can see how he'd still be attached, but there were some things I think that he did that were rude.
I'd love to have seen what Pam's dad talked to Roy about...also would love at some point for Frankie to elaborate on the "shit" that Pam went through....still loving the story, can't wait for more (even if it is a bit sad)
Date: November 18, 2007 12:05 pm Title: Chapter 1
That was so great. I loved the whole Roy/Jim talk. It was perfect and so true. I can see how Roy would be feeling the loss too. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Hope you enjoyed the wrap-up!!! Thank so, so much for the review!

"Everything that was wrong with the world was illuminated." That is just such a perfect line. I hope you write "real" stories, too, stories that you can actually own, because you have a great voice for description and you should be able to get rich and famous from it someday.

I love this story so much. And right now it is a welcome distraction from the ginormous paper I have to write by tomorrow morning.

Whew. I just couldn't stop reading--and there are a lot of distractions in my house at the moment. The dialogue between Jim and Roy--spot on. Just perfect.
Date: November 18, 2007 07:09 am Title: Chapter 4
I thought Jim was going to throw Roy out of the car for a second. And wouldn't that be nice. But...and I can't believe I'm trying to defend Roy here, I think he really is affected with Frank being sick. Ten years is a long time. He was part of that family. And I'm sure close with Pam's dad. So I could see where he would want to be there. It's hard to just wake up one day and pretend everything you had is gone and be fine with it. So although I don't want him there, it makes sense he would want to be there. And now that my small moment of Royness is gone, I love Jim. How hard was that, "I'll take you home Roy." Always taking one for team JAM. But at least he got Roy out of the house...until he comes back for his truck.
Anyway, another amazing job. You really make my heart break for all of them. Can't say enough about how much I enjoy this story.
