Well done. its sad but i know what it like to watch someone you love waste away. just like my grandma and my aunt as of right now. just like three years ago when i lostensibly my great grandmother. i was there when she went. i still miss her lots. but i know that one i will be with her forever.

This was a beautiful story filled with sadness and heartbreak. This story is a real tearjerker...

Beautifully written! I never cried so much!

Yes, it was a tear jerker. But to make it worse, my dad died five weeks ago of cancer. So as good a story as this was, I hope you can understand why I can't favorite this story.

Oh my Gosh it took me two days to read this only because I had my heart in my throat and could not see though my tears! I lost my mom in February of this year due to cancer and this story brought back everything my mother was. She was a lot like Johnny was before she got sick and even after when she was scared she had this way about her. This story was truly great! Thank you for writing this!

Why, why, why? I couldn't stop crying...it was beautifully written...

it was a tear jerker!

A friend of mine had the same issues with her formatting and what was wrong was the site was reading her word files as being corrupt. I think that may be what's wrong with your story because I see one of your other pieces has the same formatting issues, too. What my friend did to fix it (and don't know if this will work for you), she cut and pasted the story into a new word document that she then named differently from the original one she uploaded to the site, then she uploaded the "new" document and did a chapter replace, swapping out the incorrectly formatted document with the new one and that seemed to work. Again, don't know that it will fix the issue here but it's worth a shot because you don't want the oddball formatting to put people off of reading a good story.

Again, I apologize for the formatting, it won't let me fix it. For those who are having trouble and want to read it. If you go to the E! storyfinders board, page three and scroll to where it says Johnny has cancer...the links to the original version of this story are posted. That's the best that I can offer. Unless you PM me, and we can work it out so I can send it to you.

I would love to read this but had to stop about a fourth of the way through it, the weird formatting really bothered my eyes. I suffer from low vision issues and the reader I use made the weird formatting even worse. Any way you could fix this so that it's an easier read? Would really appreciate it if you could, I would hate to miss out on a good story because the formatting was screwy.

I'm so glad you gave the tissue warning because I wan 't even a third of the way through this story when the tears started falling.

After waging my own battle with cancer, i have to say this beautiful story struck home with me. I learned during my battle that most cancer patients fight with quiet dignity but in the end the choice about how they fight is their decision to make. Beautifully written and beautifully realistic.

OMG! I read this on the way home from an eight-day trip. I cried all the way across Mississippi and part of Alabama! I've loved "Emergency" for many years as well, and through the tv show and now the fanfic, it's easy to take these characters into your hearts, and this story tore at my heart. Great story, but couldn't read another like this anytime soon. Thanks.

The story was heart feeling story. As i lost both of my folks to cancer. Keep writing I love your stories

Wow, this story was a real emotional roller coaster for me. It took me like 2 hours to read it. All I can say is I did a lot of crying while reading it. Your original posting of this story is what inspired me to write my story Candle in the Wind. Thank you for such a wonderfully written emotionally charged story.
