Story Notes:
I've had this little idea in my brain for awhile and decided to write it. It's dark at some points, but as an aspiring writer, sometimes you have to tackle the things that make you struggle as a writer. So, here is my attempt at straying from the norm. We've all read fics here at MTT that have this theme and I thank every one of those people that have tried to flesh out this situation. It's tough to concoct this is your mind sometimes, and I think every one of you have done a superb job at it. Here's to my attempt!!!!
Also, thanks to EmilyHalpert and WildBerryJam for the wonderful beta job. When I was new to MTT, one of EH's stories really stirred something in me. Thus, the reason for this fic. Thank you, I'm grateful. :)
And, I'm not trying to theive from The Office in anyway. Trust me.

I've been though the loss of loved ones. Granted, I wasn't as close as I should have been with them, but it still pained me to see them slip away. I've lost friends my age and have been closely affected by some of their deaths. And, this is where I get my insight and inspiration for this story. It's from watching, learning, listening, and following the stories of these families that have trudged on, even after their loved one is gone.
So now, I dedicate this to Matt, who passed away December 28th, 2007. He was such a kind, young spirit and a great brother to my friend. Sadly, his life ended after fifteen years, by an unexpected skiing accident. This story is dedicated to the families that have lost someone just like in this case.
Thanks to WBJ and EH. For everything.....
