So, so sad! I don't know how to cope with it - it is so realistic, though. It could happen.
Anyway, amazing work throughout the three. Your writing is amazing!

Author's Response: I hope this never happens in their fictional life ;). But thanks. This is one story that I love because its a personal connection, but I always think about revisiting it, because its one of my earliest pieces and i think I could do better!

i think that this would be really really awesome, if the story were to go back in time and we could see what their life was like, really get to know these characters.

Author's Response: Yeah, I enjoyed coming up with these little slices of life to present in this story, just miniflashbacks, if you will.

I can't stop crying. This was an amazing story; very well written. It hit close to home for me because my father died from cancer whan I was 4 (I'm now 20). I have to say that you described Alex's realization that his dad was really dead and his responce to that realization very realistically. Great job.

Author's Response: I am so lad you enjoyed, even if it was sad. It was so sad as I was writing it. Death is hard to deal with, and writing it is cathartic, but... wow. Its a tough subject. Thank you so much for the review.

That is so sad! I'm crying as I read this. I loved this story so much and I loved that Alex and Sophie were so much like their parents. Amazing!!



Author's Response:

I am so glad you loved it even when crying. I cried while writing it, so, yeah. And I think all kids have traits from their parents. I know I do (which I am discovering more every day), and I just think little kid versions of Jim/Pam would be fun.

Thanks for the review

OMG i never cry when i read stories - i cried!!! SOOOO SAD!

Author's Response: I cried while writing it, so I am glad I got the emotion across. Now this can NEVER happen on the show, but I enjoyed writing it. As much as you can enjoy feeling pain and crying and stuff.

Thank you for your story. I have to say that it is hard to write about things that touch so close to the heart. In my life, when I lost someone, I didnt allow the grieving process take affect until months after they were gone and I hope that this story triggers that in people that are still hurting. These characters are so real to us Office fans...and writing something that seems to 'unspeakable' will allow us to see how real it can really be. Thank you. I hope that came off the way I wanted it to...:)

Great job!



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your review. For me, writing about things is rather cathartic. I am very much a believer of once I write it, its no longer inside of me (which makes me think of the Anna Nalick song, Breathe). Which is why I have a hard time actually writing some happy things. Because I want to keep those inside. It ruins my daydreams if I write em. But sad things, those can go.

My personal loss was different than this story, as it was a loss from cancer, and allowed for anticipatory grief (wow, look at me being all book smart). Its such an interesting way the whole grieving process. It is something that doesn't really ever get talked about in normal areas, but it is something so universal. I tend to look at everything rather analytically since I have such a background in science. I loved writing this fic, because even though it was such an emotional roller coaster for me, and highly emotional, I really was able to step back and look at it objectively. And then still feel all the emotion, because, wow, death, really sad.

Okay, my reply is like longer than your comment, so I will shut up now. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
