First off, that was a super emotional chapter - I cried! I really enjoyed reading this and I can’t believe how talented you are to get that much emotion into the story. It was incredible.
Secondly - I will definitely send positive vibes to you and your husband in the hopes that you are pregnant again and that everything goes perfectly well this time. Thank you for sharing your hopes and fears. I think it is a tremendously brave thing to do. Kind thoughts and prayers being sent your way
I loved, loved, loved the last chapter, it was a perfect way to celebrate Greyson, you wrote it so beautifully and sweet, Emily's speech almost had me in tears. I can't wait for the next update.
And good luck for Tuesday I hope everything goes well and if you are congratulations and if not I hope you're okay <3
@ AllTimePensFan I am totally flattered! Not only because you liked it enough to read that many chapters, but that it moved you enough to cry. It's a major compliment. Thank you so much for your kind words, and for giving this story a chance. I know it's hard to read. It's hard to write! Honestly, I normally don't write such sad stories. It's become sort of therapy for me.
Long story short, I lost three people dear to me several years back (within a span of 86 days). My husband and I miscarried not long after I started writing this. I'm actually not (consciously, anyway) putting my own process of grieving into this story; but every once in a while I pull from it if I'm having a bad day. Living life in the moment and not as a memorial frame of mind is something I now am beginning to really work on. I don't know that Jimmy ever said 'live life like nothing is sacred', but I am doing my best to pull on that as well. It's been very helpful.
Anyway, I didn't mean to go on that much, lol sorry. The point is, thank you for reading, and for taking the time to tell me that you like it!!
So i just found this story today and got caught up! I have to say that last chapter had me practically sobbing at work. This story is so heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time. I love it and i can’t wait for more!
It’s kind of hard to read for me now as my son was born 8 weeks early and spent 3 weeks in the NICU....but he’s absolutely thriving now. It’s kind of therapeutic in a way to read this.
@ MissMisery I just felt I could have done better. The next chapter is finished and ready to go, as well as the next one for Elements of a Selfish Desire. Just putting the finishing touches on them, and making sure I got what I wanted to into them. Eoasd is about to get even stranger lol. This one, I am admittedly still trying to get back into my groove on it.
First off, I wanted to send my condolences for the sad loss of your baby. I cannot possibly understand the unimaginable pain you and your family must have gone through/still be going through.
I love this story so much and I am glad you are continuing with it and I look forward to more soon.
That conversation between Mac and Brian... Perfection. This story constantly has me in tears. I can’t imagine their loss, their pain. How do you survive that?
great update, that conversation with Mac and Brian was so sweet and just so...true. Also, please take your time! We will still be here. Love and hugs to you <3
