I know this was written a while ago, but I just want to anything I can to encourage people to read it. It's both well-written and incredibly touching. Thanks for the Hallmark ending, because the regular one was heartbreaking. Beautiful, but heartbreaking.

I really think this story is just beautiful. I'm ridiculously in love.
It is the perfect form of bittersweet angst.
The I never forgot on the gravestone pretty much shoved a knife in my heart and twisted it.
This really feels like something I would write; or at least something I would think of. I either wouldn't have the guts to write it (I categorize this as 'supernatural,' and while I love it, I haven't seen many Office fanfics that fall under that genre) or I wouldn't have written it nearly as beautifully as you've managed to.
I'm still crossing my fingers for a miracle.
Five million and a half stars.
Author's Response: Yeah, this is definitely out there concept wise but it was one of those things that just wouldn't get out of my head. I'm happy that people are responding positively to it. And I'm glad you liked it. Thanks. :)

I love this. I'm crazy about antique furniture and imagining the life such a piece has seen. And Pamela's letter was so romantic. Great job with researching what slang would have been in fashion, it really added to the flavor of the story. And what better line than "I'm yours if you find me". Wow.
Author's Response: I'm a big fan of antique furniture too. Too bad I can't afford the more awesome stuff! I think the best thing I've gotten is a lamp that has two penguins fishing on the base.

ooh, something new from carbondalien! (yay! [/Pam])
Looking forward to where you'll take us. Thank God we have fanfic to give us what the show doesn't ;o)
Author's Response: Yeah, a little interaction is always nice (even communication through time, haha). Hopefully this won't disappoint. :)

You have been prolific lately, carbondalien! I was thinking the same thing, and I'm really thankful for it. Looks like we're in for a real treat with this one. I'm not familiar with "The Love Letter," but I love this all the same. I love Pamela's letter--so wistful and amazingly in character despite the era. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: The overall theme of "The Love Letter" is the same as the story here, but I've made a few tweaks to develop some things. One of the changes I made was moving Pam forward in time to the 1920s (in the short story the woman is in the 1880s), and I did some research on slang and other things of the 1920s so that I could figure out what might influence Pam and the way she speaks while still being Pam-y. Anywho, glad you liked it, and as always thanks for reviewing. :)

What a neat idea! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this. I always love your stories.
Love that your Pamela Morgan Beesly is SPUNKY! Great challenge at the end there:
You’ve only got a few weeks, so SPEAK UP. I’m yours if you find me.
Author's Response: Glad you like it! :) It took me a while to try to figure out what 1920s Pam would be like. I researched slang and the year 1924 and other stuff to figure out what she might be influenced by. It was pretty interesting and hopefully I got a good balance. I could see Pam in a flapper dress, showing off her dorky dances moves.
