well, i didn't exactly cry, but it was still ohsoso sad. close enough. .. i love this. i'm a fan of angst, but i'm usually not a fan of inevitable permanent angst.. this was great, though =)

Oh my God. You are so good at predicting your reader's reactions. I finished this one and just burst into tears. Not like small tears, but actual big fat ones, falling down my face. It wasn't the story itself that made me cry, but the last line that really got me. It's so beautiful.

Good job!

In case you didn't get from my review, I loved your story so much and it's a favorite of mine for ever and ever!

Amazingly written. Tear jerker. You are one of my favorite CSI writers. I personaly (sp?) think you should submit an episode to the writers of CSI, see what they think.

Mission accomplished. I tried to prove you wrong by not crying, but your story just wouldn't have that. Fabulous job. The picnic that will never happen made me cry even harder. By the end you learn to appreciate life a little more. At least for me it did. Wonderful job. Thanks for writing. (>-)

Curse you. Do you know how long it's been since I cried like that over a story? Got me going at "I want to remember being beautiful" and then I couldn't stop. It's barely 8:00 on a Monday morning and I'm starting my week in tears. Absolutely ridiculous. And by that, of course, I mean I'm simply in awe of your ability to wreak havoc with people's emotions with your writing.

OK, so this is coming just a little late... lol but this has to be the best and saddest, most bittersweet story ive ever read. I think i may just cry :P lol amazing stuff.

This story is amazing and beautiful! You are what a writer should be. I can't explan how good this is. Wonder!

Simply chilling. I thought that I couldn't get into GSR fics because I couldn't imagine Grissom emoting, as much as I did believe in his feelings for Sara. But you had me hooked. And sad. No tears here, but will you settle for honest to goodness heartache and a place on my favorites list? :)

A very belated review for your story... During the summer doldrums I've been checking out the archives of recommended writers over a YTDAW and came across your name.

This is a stunning piece of work. I'm not the type who cries, but you are to be commended for making me come very close. Your characterization is perfect, and the depth of emotion is so real I feel raw.

I'm off to go find something fluffy now!

Jeez, man, I've been crying for fiveteen mintues straight! There has been one of the three stories that have made me cry, (And one of the others is another one of your stories) I wish I could keep going but I'm still crying here.. Bye bye.

it worked correctly, don't worry about that, but now i'm all sad, must go read happy fics.

Gosh, I can't even think of anything to say. Very good. Sad, but in a way happy too.

i don't cry...do you hear me?...never...well written and worth a good cry...damn you

... If I can even make myself coherent... I'm in tears right now; this piece reminded me so strongly that I didn't get to say goodbye to my mother before she died. I was just sixteen when that happened, in the depths of bipolarity, tearing myself apart right before her eyes. It hurt her... and she'll never get to see that I'm getting better. I know what it's like to lose someone you love so much... far too well. I don't know if I can continue with this review, I just...damn it. Crying in public is not my thing, but you've achieved it.

You got pretty blasted close with your goal of making the reader (me) cry. And thatsez I, is an accomplishment.

In another life I would have said this fic hurt so good, but that's another life. In this life, I will agree with Grissom, because death is wrong and it should never be accepted, but people should be loved and continue to love.
