*cries* My gosh that was sad, but beautiful. Thanks for writing it. A story should never be left in the head never to be written down.

this is only the second story of yours that i have read but i Find that they have a lot of emotional depth to them.

Thanks Again...

Yes, I will say that the way Tofu's mind was so made up seemed a little unrealistic, but it helped hold the story to one path, keeping it from getting too optimistic only to have that feeling broken later.
Still, the magic of this story is how she handles the tragedy and makes a positive impact in the last year of her life, living more fully than she ever had before. It still hits me as more sad than happy, but it's got a very special mix of the two.

Very... Emotional. I almost had a hard time finishing it. It made my heart ache just thinking about the topic. It was a good story.

However, in the spirit of reviews to improve you story, I present the following.

"I had been an emeny and " enemy was spelled wrong. If this is the worst thing wrong, then your an excellent author. Keep up the good work. Have a great day.

This is so sad...

*sobs*

It's so sweet! wah!

good work i like your writing style!

that was sad but I didnt cry or get too sad. Only girls cry

:) I'm a doctor's daughter... I plan on becoming a doctor after college, but Saggit has chastised you enough for that one. :) (btw, I don't think I doctor would go on ahead and tell the family of the sickness... I mean there's something called patient-doctor confidentiality, and Akane *is* old enough to make her own decisions)

Anyway, that said, I think that it was a little difficult to realize that some time has passed here, that at least Akane has a child... that she and *Ranma* had a child, I had the feeling that it was a snatch out of any point in the series given the way they talked to each other (other than the heading of the letter of course) I completely forgot about it until almost the end, although I guess that's a bit minor. :)

I liked the way you ended it though, as every mother would have wanted her child to know about what happened in their lifetime. Especially about the pen :)

Wow... that's the first thing I've read in a long time that had me crying... terribly sad, but really terrific. You should give a "this fic will make you cry if you care about Akane/Ranma at all" warning or something, though. :)

In response to Saggit's review, I just want to tell him/her thank you. Yes, you're right. Tofu would focus on healing Akane, not just letting it go. I am ignorant in how correct medicine works. Thanks, Saggit for straigtening it out. Unfortunately, I intend on keeping the fiction as it is for the duration to keep the story as strong as it is - or in your case, as weak as it. Thanks for the reviews, good and bad. Good floats my ego and constructive keeps me grounded. Thanks again! Duchess _

It's so sad! *wailing* I loved it, please write more, you have such good descriptions and it seems as if I'm really there or her child. So sad!

No doctor I'm aware of will ever say "You have leukemia. It's terminal." In fact, no doctor will ever say a cancer is terminal; they're trained not to, to concentrate on treatments. The focus is always, always on improving the patient's health, or barring that, their comfort. I admit to being turned off by this poorly realized doctor who wasn't true to life, much less true to Tofu.

I was crying while reading your story! This is so good! Very moving!

That was very good...deeply emotional and heartwrenching.

Tears in my eyes. Very Nice. Two and a half Irish Jigs. For your next fic, can you make it something less depressing?
