so sad...it made me cry for a while...
beautiful story, really...

Bugger... this is the one story of yours that makes me regret that you are such a good writer.

omg, that was so sad. WHYY? this story is just torture...but in a good way lol. I love the relationship you wrote between Booth and Max

AH! this is...so sad and yet oh so beautiful...amazing...breath-taking...perfect!

Absolutely beautiful. I love the absolute raw emotion shown by both of them. Very real.

Very well done indeed. :)

oh, i love it! you are so talented! this is such a sweet story, i had tears in my eyes at the end.

Brutally beautiful. It was the perfect length to get across what you were saying without being insanely wordy. This was great.

This was beautiful,I've read some of you other stories and the heartwrenching emotion you can capture in just a few words is have a gift, reading this story I could feel the sadness, grief stirring from inside me. Not many stories can make me cry, but this was... it was simply beautiful, tie you heart in knots and grip at your throat beautiful. Thank You.

This story was really something. I could feel their grief so well that I felt nausious by the time I finished.

Excellent story - you are a wonderful writer!

Painful but not maudlin. It's easy for these types of stories to be overwrought but you avoided that.

So, so sad. Beautifully written though. Well done.

That's so sad! Incredible story! Very moving!

good one shot, very sad but I still enjoyed it.

Beautiful angst, hon. Just wow... I had to read it twice cause I was automatically in Booth's head at the beginning, but there's nothing wrong with that... it just made it sink in even better.

Gorgeous descriptions, phrasing, and I especially loved the somewhat hidden meanings... this:

"Years later, decades even, when he’ll need Russ’ help to visit the gravesite, he’ll keep(ing) seeing those fresh daffodils."

Yes, horribly depressing to even think about, but you write it so heartrendingly beautiful.

Thanks for sharing :)
