Such a sad story! I loved that he was able to fulfill his dying wish. Going to start the sequel now

@ Damsel Of Darkness
I'm gonna go that, haha, just found a picture of a box XD

@ rachthebat.
Just post a box of tissues in your authors note next time

@ Damsel Of Darkness
I feel like I should be handing out free tissues or something, hahaha.

@ rachthebat.
Thanks. Hahaha. And too late.. just did. Haha.

@ Damsel Of Darkness
While I love that you liked it so much to comment, I'm sorry for making you cry!

You might not want to read the sequel just yet, haha

I don't even know what to say.... normally I'd write my comment as I read, but this story.... it called for no interruptions at all, so I just read it straight through. Now, here I am sitting here crying... what are you doing to me?! I know you warned us on the summary page... but god dammit! I don't normally cry in stories. Like, ever. I get sad, but I don't actually cry. Well, until now.

It was an incredibly sad story, but so beautifully told. I'm torn in my emotions, because I'm disappointed that Brian died but at the same time, I'm glad that he was able to have his last wish fulfilled. I suppose it's always hardest for those left behind, but as your last line says, it truly is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Even if it sometimes it doesn't seem like it.

Honestly, normally on happy things make me cry (it's a long story, I'm just kind of weird) but this... this got me.

Well done.

@ house of cards.
Thank you, this story is one that I hold dear.

The first quote is so sweet. I'm not a romantic at all, but I find t admirable when people want nothing more than to just have someone to love who loves them back. It's a really sweet idea and I have no doubt that if I gave a toss about my own love life, I'd be thinking exactly like Brian is at the beginning.

When I read that Brian had cancer, I almost cried right then. I just...he's going on about wanting to find love and then you drop that bombshell and right from there, I just know this isn't going to end well.

And now he meets someone. I can see this going right the wrong way á la John Green and I don't want it to but I have my suspicions about sad stories that get better in the middle.

I knew it. I just knew it. What makes the whole thing worse is that you write so beautifully that I can feel everything that they are feeling and I hate it but kind of love it at the same time. I don't get upset at stories very often, but I'm upset after reading this one. Amazing job. Absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful.

Jesus Christ, I have tears streaming down my cheeks right now. This was absolutely beautiful, and sad, but it was fantastic to read. All of the emotion and all of the phases that Brian went through... they were described so flawlessly!
Just wow, it takes great talent to write something that brings tears to my eyes. Congratulations, really :')

You had warned me, you had fucking warned me, but I didn't give a crap.
I'm crying like such a little bitch right now. It takes so much to actually make me cry, and besides Nicholas Sparks, not a lot of writers have been able to do that yet. I actually had to pause reading and I was just sobbing. No surprise...since cancer is quite a personal...thing, and this really got to me, in a lot of ways.

God fucking king of hell, you're incredible, Rachel.

First of all...I have no idea where to start. This was so good, heartbreaking and amazing sad, but story wise...fuck, this was amazing. It takes a lot to be able to carry emotions through a story so well, to make such a huge fucking subject come across realistically... you're a goddess. I kind of wish this was a full length story, I just really liked the plot and your ideas in it, the little things even. I loved how they even met each other and how they were in the same boat. It was really sweet.
I wasn't really expecting something SO FUCKING BAD. God. But seriously, how you managed to squeeze something like this into a short story without it losing meaning is completely unclear to me, I don't get it. TEACH ME HOW. You did a perfect job, really. You summed up the right scenes, gave nice details in all the right placed...god, it was so good.
I dont even need to comment on your writing itself anymore, do I? You know I love it and that I think it's fucking special, and amazing.

This was so beautiful, I can't deal with it. asdfghjkl. I feel so sad because of Brian..because he fought and he tried so hard, but at the same time I'm so happy he had found her, because that was so beautiful and romantic.
I especially lvoed the ending. I liked that you didn't just cut out, but showed how things were afterward and how she had the little outburst. It made everything so real and dramatic. My mind is so fucking blown away right now.

CAN SOMEONE JUST GIVE YOU AN OSCAR OR SOMETHING ALREADY?

OMG. This was amazing! </3

@ ToBeDetermined
Thank you so much, your comment has made my day! :D
I'm thinking of doing a sequel to this, but I'm not sure. I don't think I'm ready to let go of Jen just yet.

I just cried like little baby. From the moment they started falling for one another I got misty eyes, but once the doctor told Brian the cancer was just getting worse I got into a full ugly cry. I get teary eyed very easily as I'm over-emotional, but this left me drained.

There were so many emotions running through me I couldn't control it. I was pissed because once he finally found that part of him that had been missing he couldn't have it. I felt happy because he told her just how he felt before he died and got his dying wish. I had to stop reading a few time to collect myself.

RachTheBat_, you my dear are a beautiful writer. You can really make people feel with your words and I applaud you for having that ability.

@ dizzy dreamer;
Thanks for your lovely comment :)

oh. my. god. It's hard for me to get so into a story it makes me cry but by the end of this my eyes were so watery.

I was prepared for a sad ending from the second I read Brian had cancer but I eventually thought Jen would end up dying, so I was surprised once I realized he wouldn't make it and she would. You developed them and their relationship so well for it being a one shot and the entire thing in general was just written an flowed so well.

Great job! :)

omg... I can't stop crying... just beautiful..

oh my good im ugly crying because of this story jeez it was like waterfalls falling from my face. I loved it, it was well written and perfect.

That was absolutely amazing! And for once I'm all ready eyed!
