A classic story that's well done

Sad but true to life and so real it hurts to read it some of the time.

Thanks for the good story

A very well written story

After I casually read part of chapter three, I waited until all the chapters were posted so I could read the entire story at one sitting. You did a great job of making the characters come alive with humor and sadness.

This was very sad, yet

it somehow makes the reader feel very good. It was extremely well done!

Beautiful and moving

I cried while reading this last chapter. What a tribute to enduring love! The whole series was compelling, engaging, and well written. Thanks again.

Very good, very good

The story was human, well-written, poignant, even, yet still held the readers' attention to the end. Thank you very much for this story.

My first comment on the series

comes after I have read it through to the end. This is a beautiful story and despite being a sad tale it is a story of hope and love. I look forward to your next story. This will be hard to top!

Really nicely done

A well crafted and composed story that is engaging with action at the beginning as a hook and raw emotion and pathos later for the sinker. Really well done, I'm sure that it was an emotionally draining story to write. Good work!

Still tears

I read the ending to your story again this morning and it still brings tears for you and for me.

With unabashed tears . . .

. . . I am reading this once again as it came up on Random this morning. When it first came out I was going through the same situation but with my 44 year old daughter. Gamby and I shared some thoughts, some grief back then. This story is all too real and the memories of my daughter fighting to hold on to a life slipping away are still a vivid part of my psyche.

The decision making part of letting go is not at all easy. In our case our daughter's mother had the legal authority; it would have been immoral for me not to give full support, but it is still difficult. We terminated treatment. Doctors said three to seven days probably, ten at most. Our daughter's spirit and body would not give up life easily. She lived twenty-three days without dialysis but finally, gasping her last breaths, death arrived and she breathed her last. The hospice nurses were with her, her parents had time to say goodbye even though she could not respond.

I fully understand just how difficult the letting go process is; I still revisit those mental anguish discussions in my head four years later.

Thanks once again for writing this beautiful story of life, of love, and of death GrumpyGamby.

Oh Bob...

You come back to read every year, revisiting the pain.

We spiral in and spiral out of the grief. Each time we spiral out, we get a little bit stronger. Each time we spiral in, there is another memory or detail we need to think about and thinking with those sad eyes makes us feel close to them, like they only just left us.

As you know Bob, we just get used to it.
