Love this story so much. It’s so poignant, perfect, and beautiful.

Oh My! I'm sitting here, with my daughter, while she looks at me very strangely, finally asking me what was wrong. You see, I'm literally bawling. I have cried silent tears before, but this really grabbed me, and I can't seem to get them under control. I simply said, "It's a sad story I'm reading." And she said, "That must really be some sad story the way you're carrying on." I replied. "You have no idea." Why?

Because this is the fourth time Brian's cancer has flaired up, and he's not even 50 yet. And now, an inoperable brain tumor. No wonder he was ready to go. I don't think I'd want to live the last three horrible months, either. You've taken the whole cancer arc to a new level.

Even though everybody has moved on with their own lives, it sounds like Brian and Justin had a very fulfilling life together. Those memories will continue to live with Justin, and help him carry on. He will have Gus with him, and they, together, can help each other cope. Although it seems Gus has an addtional support system, now.

Another wonderful story from you. I'm going to have to take a break from reading you, until I need a good cry. Your writing is hard on the heart sometimes, making breathing difficult. That's a compliment in the best of forms.

XOXO ~ Cathy

Oh... I'm sorry ::handing you tissue:: Should I tell you now that there is a short sequel called "A Rush of Quiet Birds"? 

Yeah, it's another death fic. ::ducking::

Death fics are painful, but I love angst, and can get more emotive. I think death brings out the flustered poet in me. Tell you daughter that it's all good, the story will always go on, and this is just a hiccup in the universe. 

Thanks for your kind words.

This left me with my heart pounding and an almost overwhelming desire to cry, if not for the fact that they had lived and loved for many years together. Definitely not nearly enough years, I would have wished them many decades more, but you left me in no doubt that their love was a true love of the forever kind.

Not sure how much more of you I can read. Major tears on this one. 

You got the characters voices perfect. Sigh... it's just a beautiful end to a beautiful love story.

Even with the warning, it's a hard and beautiful story to read.

Brian knew Justin will "stay" for Gus, otherwise, I'm not sure he wouldn't have followed. How could Justin not think to do just that? Even if he was independent, he loved Brian so much that not seeing every day, knowing they will never meet again, must be devastating.

They had almost 20 years...
