First of all, amazing work once again - I can't wait to read the next chapter. Also, I'm very sorry to read about what you put in your chapter end notes, but I am glad, in a way, that your experiences have inspired you. You are a wonderful writer and capture the emotions of the situation perfectly.
Author's Response: Ya know, you chooe and interesting time to read and review, because it was nearly exactly (within days) of my own father's death. Very interesting and coincidental.

oh this is so good, but it breaks my heart so much! Especially with the kids and it's just... *sigh* Great job and I hope there's more to come. Even though I do cry while reading it.
Author's Response:
There is probably going to be more to come. I have to force myself to do homework before I type out another chapter though.
I am glad that it is making other people as emotional as it makes me. It is just a really hard subject to write and read, but it is just as much a part of life as happy times, yet, so little is done with tragedies. Angst is covered, but, tragedies, not so much.
Okay, really going to go shut down computer. Must do chemistry and stats. Then I can write.

I really like this series, but it's almost too painful to read. I've had alot of people die, and it's almost theraputic reading this. It's sort of hard to explain. Anyway, I like how Pam explained it to Sophie in terms of the Lion King. Wow. I'm sad lol
Author's Response:
I understand about the theraputic part. Its theraputic to write this. When my dad was diagnosed with cancer, I wrote a LOT. Most of the stuff then was even more emotional than now. I had been having a rough week, and I just, when I sat down to write this, it really did take a lot out of me, but it also was healing. So I understand.
It is really hard to explain to kids about death. I mean, seriously. That was the first Disney movie that I could think of that explained it in a way that made sense. And then it worked well at the end. I hadn't planned on having it come back through Pam also, but wow, it did.
Thanks for your review. I am really going to try to shut off my computer so I don't type out another chapter. I have annoying homework and other stuff for school that is a bit more urgent apparently.
