I didn't want to read this, the idea is just too depressing but I really did enjoy it. This story is just so beautiful and bittersweet and just so well done. I would have loved an epilogue where jim finally shows his wife pam the letters and the picture.

I'm so glad you went the Hallmark Hall of Fame route! I really like what you did with this story. (I think I like it better than the original.)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :) The Hallmark route seemed like the kinder and gentler way to go.

I'm doing my own dorky happy dance over here, carbondalien. What a great ending! I much prefer happy to sad. I met my husband at a wedding, so I definitely love how you had them meet. Great job!
Author's Response: Dorky dancing is always a good reaction. :) I'm glad you liked it!

Oh, thank goodness for the Hallmark version. And dorky dancers. I think this was very cleverly done, carb.
Author's Response: Thank you. :) The Hallmark version is what we all needed, I think.

OMG, I just read this from start to finish and then I read the reviews to make sure I wasn't totally crazy for winding up in a puddle of tears after Ch. 8. So sad. I knew he was heading for the cemetery when he wrote that last short note. And the fact that she never married, and never forgot him? Guh. :(
I'm glad you had Jim meet Pam's modern day reincarnation in the final chapter. It would have been too depressing for him to go through life without ever finding love again.
You did an awesome job with the old fashioned writing style and slang. I assume the old post office building does exist in Scranton? I have driven past Courthouse Square numerous times during my visits. Did you have a particular house in mind on N.Washington or just a general idea of the architectural style of the area? Because the houses in Scranton definitely don't look like the one Jim bought Pam on the show. But what can you do when you film the show in a totally different locale and climate?
Thanks for sharing this lovely story with us. Favoriting it now.
Author's Response: The same happened in the short story, but I always imagined that character (and Pam) were happy. The post office is a bit of an amalgamation, but the older buildings in Scranton are big and awesome. It's the same with the houses (depending on where in the city you are). The older houses are fantastic.
And this is the house I had in mind for Pam's: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~scwhite/kennedy/AmeliaWilliamKennedyHomeScrantonPA.jpg
Thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story. :)

I like the Hallmark movie route better, too. And I really enjoyed your story!
Author's Response: Thank you! :) I'm usually one for angst, but it just seemed a little TOO depressing, haha.
