Just so you know, there WAS a mrs. House, but they divorced.

She's still alive and married to someone else, b.t.w. they divorced because Gregory filed it (it had to do with his leg).

He wanted a pacemaker in his leg, she thought it was too much of a risk and she let them remove the muscle, therefore he has a limp. And he divorced because she caused him that limp.

Excellent!

That was a sad little fic. Very well-written. An interesting alternative, now that we know about Stacy. Darlene sounds like a wonderful person. I like the way you described her, and the way you worked in the old adage.

Sqwee! Great story! Very touching! I like how you use the same wife charater in your storys! (I read the apple tree one first)

What voice did on my spirit fall,

Peschiera, when thy bridge I crost?

'T is better to have fought and lost

Than never to have fought at all.

Shakespeare...I think.

Very sweet. I like the thought behind his cynicism. Losing someone is tough.

Keep up the good work.

That was sad. Good possible background on House.

Beautiful heartbreaking little ficlet. A little freaky though, cause 12 March is my birthday, but yeah... lol Nice job.

Oh that is so sweet! I feel like crying. Poor House. You caught his voice and still remained dramatic, very good! Anyone have a tissue now? (Sniffs)

This was so sad. I agree wholeheartedly. The person who coined that phrase was totally out of their mind.

Thanks for sharing it with us.
