Thank you, thank you ever so much for this most beautiful, touching, story.
I would love to go into detail on how much your voices have struck me, let you know how heartbroken and wonderfully human I feel right now, but I'd rather leave it at this.
Bravo.
I look forward to your next story and I congratulate you on keeping this beacon of wonders alight.
My best regards.
Bertie

Wow. I've liked so many of the stories here, but this one struck me hard in the feels. So much to think about.
