Can across this story from another that I read. This story is very original. Edward knew Bella from when she was little and then again when she was grown. The first time when she was 3 years old and just a little girl, the next when she was broken by things that had happened in her life. He was able to change the things that had broken her. He loved her from the beginning, from the very beginning but didn't know it. He took him awhile the understand and to the end of the story still did not understand everything. Edward finally understood what love was and his love for Bella was unending and to top it off he found himself with his little girl. He found his life, love and his "firefly". Thank you for this story! At times it was difficult to read but showed the love between Bella and Edward.

OMG, she died! But, no she hadn't really, had she?

Excellent story, worth staying up late to finish!

Thank you for writing.

Still here, still reading, scraped together a grilled cheese for dinner for my kid. Loved your response. Had to switch to my computer, couldn't figure the booming headache I was getting until I realized my eyes were crossing from reading on my phone. Thought I'd take a second to drop another review. After the chapter Bella died, in your AN for the next chapter I cringed when you mentioned all of the flack you took for killing her off. Any dummy would know you weren't going to do that to Edward. I never thought you'd really kill her off. But like I said, I was floored with the way you handled it, I was expecting a total Family Guy scenario, where she suddenly got her memory back after passing out in the water. I even thought maybe the mentions of mermaids had something to do with it. Never even thought of Marty McFly. (God I hope you've seen that episode or you'll not get that.) I haven't read the outtakes yet, I didn't want to risk anything that would ruin the surprise, so I'll read that next, I'm anxious to see what Edwards conversation with Dr. Chan was all about.

Ok, I've got to keep reading! See you in a bit!

Oh my god, oh my god. Un-fucking-believable. I am totally floored! I just recently stumbled across your story, and I know writers hate this, but I am a terrible reviewer, so I've not stopped hitting that "next" button to review. But this story oh my goodness. It sucked me in, wonderfully written, terrific characters, fantastic plot...and I am floored by this development. Floored! I remember the Stanford scientists, but I did not expect that as foreshadowing AT ALL! I can not wait to keep reading this but I just had to let this soak in. I just had to tell you how much this knocked me on my ass. A-flipping-mazing. Job well done. Interest peaked, I'll read ever thing you ever write honey. I'll be sure to review again when I get to the end...which will probably be tonight after I feed my fast food to my family.

This is FANTASTIC!(: ...utterly captivating! ... I absolutely LOVED it. (: (:

Wow, what a great story. I got to chapter 15 and my heart was breaking then I read the last bit over and over, a little bit confused. Once I got it I was a bit worried it would somehow spoil such a great story, but as I carried on reading I just couldnt stop.

A truly great story that will be staying in my favourites for me to read again and again x

Your story is so fucking amazing I am thinking about reading it again, just for the fuck of it. I love you, and your story, will you marry me, love?

Wow. This story was amazing. Truly! It's been a while since I've read a story that touched my heart the way this one did. I love the premise, how you handled the time jumps and both characters so much. You are so gifted and I appreciate all the hard work you put into this and that you were able to share it with the community here.

I can't wait to read more of your work. Thanks so much! )

What a wonderful story! So full of love & heartache, yet you worked everything out just beautifully. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Hi I am reading your wonderful story and LOVE it.

THIS is a STORY!

I love having it completed, and I am working my way through it this week.

Thanks so much for writing!

What a wonderful story! I enjoyed reading it so much. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Oh my... I think it's safe to say that this story is one of the best I've ever read. You had such an original idea, and I definitely wasn't expecting Bella to die or the resulting events. Sure, you foreshadowed everything with that talk with Dr. Shan, but still. I thought it was just going to be used later for conversation. Then, BAM! And all of unexpected events just helped make an amazing story even better. I don't think there's anything bad I could say about it. And of course I loved the happy ending, marriage and child included. Though I'm very curious about how Rose and everyone else reacted to Bella and Edward getting married and whatnot... Anyway, outstanding story. Thank you so much for sharing. Loves, hugs, and Cullens!

Omg! I am sobbing.

Pink Floyd and tiger-eye stones? You are my kind of person :)
