Soooo...I loved loved this story! Edward and Bella are beautiful soul that happened to be a little crazy when young, but they managed to grow and change for the better when adult. I really enjoyed this story, but I would have preferred a different epilogue. I completely understand the meaning behind that epilogue but it's sad nonetheless. Would've read a thousand more chapters about this family. Thank you

COME BACK AND FINISH THIS STORY. PLEASE UPDATE

There simply no words to convey my emotions and love for TTTB. Throughout the story I felt like I was watching a mini-series from the 70's as the story unfolded. At the same time it was much more than that. I cried, I laughed, I raised an eyebrow on more than one occasion. I often identified with your characters. They became people I knew, people I was close to to, some of them gone now but their memories live on. The story of Bella and Edward was filled with angst and at the same time there was great hope. They were meant to be they simply had to wait for the right time. Dan was a great kid. Meeting Cassie and watching their relationship blossom and grow, despite the distance, took me back forty eight years. But it was not just Dan and Cassie, Edward and Bella, too, discovered one another during this time as well. I love that not only did they survive the separation all of them thrived.

I like how you ended the story without step by step "instructions". We were left with the importance of family and how each member plays an important role in binding them together. When the tale was over we knew Edward and Bella lived full lives full of love and their story would be passed from one generation to the next. Belief in the power of love must always be kept alive.

Thank You So Very Much For Sharing The Ties That Bind with us. Real Life often gets in my way but I am always ever so thankful that story like this always finds its way back to me at a future time. :)

Loved the story thanks for writing!

I LOVED your unique and wonderful story, especially the second arc. I'm secretly glad you didn't have time for the third arc because once B & E found each other, all I wanted for them was to drift blissfully into their 'small but perfect piece of forever'. The slow burn journey it took for them to get there was a testament to you dear author, and truly a pleasure to read.

He kept the note all these years, their must be some brownie points for that

Took four days to complete but it is a wonderfully written mature story. Still relevant and engaging all these years later. I saw it recommended on a Facebook post , your story has touched and remained in the memory of many of its readers. That’s the measure of a treasured work of Twilight FanFiction.

Tissues, huh? Well, I may have to give it a miss as I've never enjoyed watchin' Edward and Bella fade into old age and the grave *shudder!* I prefer to leave them alive and lovin' life to the fullest!

Well, damn! That was a close call and a reminder that, indeed, life it too short and unpredictable to sweat the small stuff!

Good thing Edward was honest with Bella about havin' another baby! Much wiser to just wait for the grandkids Dan and Cassie give them LOL!

Awww, I'm absolutely giddy for these two!

Heheheh! I'd kinda like to hear Cassie's conversation with Alice on the subject!

The Cullen women are gonna take one look at them and know it's a done deal...she's movin' west LOL!

Bless your girls for urgin' you to take your time, just as Edward and Bella took their time to finally get there and, boy, was it worth it!

Lordamercy! What a way to get acquainted *THUD!*
