i cried so hard at this story, it is soo beautiful :'( i know it's not the same thing but it reminds me of my Gram passing

Author's Response: This story in particular made me cry, too, just writing it. I have been fortunate enough to find my partner for life, and I can only imagine what it would be like to lose him - that was my inspiration for the story.

I'm glad it made you feel enough for tears - that makes me feel good.

Thanks for writing - it is very much appreciated!

This was beautiful...I am crying...
It's strange I have read two stories of Ginny dying back to back and both made me cry. But the one I read before this wasn't perfect, for some reason the writer made Harry and Ginny part ways and made Harry marry someone else...and I told her in my review that she could have written a beautiful h/g because of the bond she built between Harry and Ginny has she not brought in the needless twists and guess what less than 5 minutes later, I found the perfect ending to their love story I was looking for...
You are a very talented writer...thank you for writing such a beautiful piece...

Author's Response: Thank you and thanks for taking time to write me about your thoughts.

I could never split up H/G, they are too perfect for each other in my opinion!

You made me cry ... a beautiful chapter, with just the right amount of sadness

Author's Response: Thank you - glad you liked the chapter. Thank you for writing!

Well I was a little hesitant at first to read this because I didn't know if I could handle Harry and Ginny being separated, but I'm glad I did (although I did have to go back and read Harry and Ginny's wedding once again to lift my spirits). I don't know if I've ever cried this much while reading, I could really picture Harry sitting at Ginny's bedside crying over her, but later thinking back to how wonderful their life was together. I still can't believe I was so touched by fanfiction because you are such a talented writer! Thank you for the fantastic story, it really redefines the meaning of love.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad that you enjoyed my first story so much that you sought out my others - it really makes me feel good that you liked them so much.

I know what you mean about how hard it is seeing Harry and Ginny separated, but if you're like me, there's nothing better sometimes then a good cry!

It also shows that love does go on and doesn't have to end just because your partner isn't with you anymore physically.

Thanks (again!!) for writing such nice words. I'm glad that you liked the stories enough to take a minute to write to me!

I'm laying here with my laptop reading your amazing story and my wife is asleep only a few inches away from me. It's Valentine's Day now as it's 12:36am, Feb. 14, 2010. Because of you and this story, I'm going to lean over and kiss her and give her a warm hug. She might be wondering why there are tears in my eyes if she wakes and I'll have no problem telling her why.

I just want you to know that an author's well-penned story can touch people's hearts and lives. I'm so happy the I wrote in her Valentine's card today that her love is the melody of my soul. Your story touched me. In fact, I sat here for awhile just lost in thoughts of the visuals you put in my mind. While painfully sad, it was also so heartening to read about such a deep love between a husband and wife.

Sorry for running on like this. I don't usually. You write very, very well.Please keep writing and thank you so much for this gift. You are blessed. PW 10/10

Author's Response:

Seriously, this review is one of the best Valentine's Day gifts that I've ever received. Thank you for taking the time to write to me with your thoughts about my story - I'm so very touched.

You are a very lucky man to have such a wonderful wife, and she is very lucky to have such a caring man, and one who truly appreciates her. Please, don't ever take that or your time together for granted.

I'm so glad that you liked the story so much, and thank you so much for your very kind words. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day with your wife!

I've read this book 3 times now, and I'm running out of tears here. At first I really don't want to read this story,coz I know it'll be a sad story. But I did anyway. I think you really are a great writer I love your stories. This story brought a lot of emotion out of me. From the way you wrote how they feel about each other to how they will survive without each other. Highly recommended writer. 10/10

Author's Response:
I know what you mean!! Some of my absolute favorite stories are the ones that make me cry. You know that it's going to be torture, but you can't stop yourself.

Thanks so much for reading the story and leaving me such kind words - you'll never know how much they're appreciated.

Call me a cry baby, but this chapter is really touching, and I really shed tears. The way you wrote the story, I felt I'm actually watching the scenes. Awesome!

Author's Response:

Thank you - I'm so glad that I could bring out those emotions in you. It really makes me feel good.

I'm glad you like the story so far. It's one of my favorites - love and loss.

Thanks for the review!

I haven't read a fic that could make me cry in a long time but this one did! I really liked this story and the writing was very good as well. Keep up the good work!

Author's Response: Thank you - I'm glad that the story could make you feel so much. I kind of cried, too, just writing it...

Hello! I stumbled upon this site relatively recently.

What a touching story, written so well! You've chosen a theme which most of us can identify with, and have reminded us how fulfilling a good and loving relationship can (and should) be. As you have alluded to in your well-penned story, the pain of losing a loved one may be awful and crippling, but it is also a sign of how rich and solid one's relationship has been.

A talented writer like yourself should not have to wait too long to have his/her work on the shelves! Good luck!

Author's Response:

Wow, I'm overwhelmed, and a little misty-eyed!! Thank you so much for your very kind words.

I try my best to write as well as I can so that the reader isn't distracted by mis-spellings, bad grammar, etc. That is my biggest pet peeve on this and other fan fiction sites, so I really appreciate your comments on my writing style. I try!!

I'm really glad that you enjoyed the story and felt that I did the topic justice. I love walking down the street and seeing an elderly couple holding hands or kissing. My Harry and Ginny would be just like that!

*sobs* this is so sad!! when she died... i was sobbing so hard that it took me about 10 minutes to recover! this is so sweet... :'( and when u said that ron had died a year earlier *sobs again* oh my gosh, i sound like a complete dork, dont i? oh well, this story is amazing!

Author's Response: You have no idea how good that makes me feel!! Not that you cried, but because I could MAKE you cry - does that make any sense??

I loved this story, too. Just the thought of one of them living without the other is enough to make me cry right now! I love them together.

Thanks so much for reading and leaving me a review - you made my day!

Thanks so much for reading. I loved this one, too!

In my mind, Harry doesn't outlast Ginny by much, but I always saw her going first.

Thanks again for reading and taking the time to leave such great reviews! I appreciate every one of them.

Thanks - this story is my second favorite.

I had never read a story about them from this perspective, so it was fun to do!

I just finished reading all of the Harry Potter books a few days ago and was looking for something to fulfill my Harry/Ginny craving and I stumbled upon your work. To tell you the truth, I was skeptical at first since I was more in the mood to find a story in which brought the two together.
However after finishing this story, I can definitely say that this work is definitely one of my favorite pieces. A true gem.
Thank you for making my day.

Author's Response:
Thank you so much, Aeto, that was such a nice review. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and to write.

Welcome to hpff - it's a great site with many talented writers.

I'm glad that I was one of the first authors you tried and that you enjoyed my story!

Strangely, I was half exxpecting a follow on chapter set a year or two later where Harry and Hermione had married, for the company as much as anything, bought an enchanted mobile home and spent the next few years annoying the kids,grandkids, etc :)

Well done

Author's Response: Oh, God, no!!! Never Harry and Hermione - never!!!

Ginny was it for Harry - no one else.

I love the idea about the mobile home, however!! That made me chuckle!

Thanks again for reading.

I would read both stories on the one day, and of course you'd choose dec 28th.

Consider the degree of emotional response a sign of the good writing.

Author's Response: Sorry again about the date!! It was unconsciously done, but the holidays always make me kind of down, especially the older I get.

Thanks for reading and the review(s)!! And I'm so glad that you enjoy my writing style, that's the biggest compliment that anyone could give me!
