this was a really sad, but sweet, story. i enjoyed it way too much. but i also cried a lot. the whole misdiagnosis thing was a bit predictable, as well as edward being foster, but you made it perfect. their cabin in the woods was indeed like heavan. it all fit the story very very well. thanks for sharing :)

Thank you, great story!

Loved this story. I had chosen not to read it many times because I'm just a sucker for HEA. I'm glad I put that aside and read this. I love the characters you created (Edward and his bike) and really enjoyed the way you told this story.
Bella's change from not really living to find someone wanting to live for was heartbreaking.

I'm reviewing this chapter because it seems I have already read and reviewed this story? anyways - omggggggggg! I don't even have the words. I'm glad you never did an epov because I don't like things unravelling too fast.
this was just perfect, every little bit of it.

I spent hours looking for this fic because it suddenly popped up in my mind before I went to bed! THIS IS AMAZING. WISH YOU’D WRITE MORE STORIES.

Loved it

Chapter 13 was so beautifully written. You made me cry (in a good way) during the meteor shower scene

I always loved LM Montgomery’s story and you have given it such a beautiful and truthful modern rewrite Thank you so much for sharing this gem!

Ok... only reviewing because you asked nicely at the end on the chapter... lol. Well the reality is that I am horrible when it comes to review and I apologize. I just don’t know much what to say to authors. 1st I’m shocked that I’ve only heard about this story now, years after you wrote. It so deserves to be more known and read. I had a hard time connecting to Bella in the beginning but I’m loving her character development and I just love how sweet Edward is. From this chapter I guess he is Foster and I’m wondering if he will ever tell her and also how devastating he will be when she passes. I hope she ends up telling her loved ones that she is sick. I can not imagined how hurtful they would be to realize not to treasure their time together but on the other hand would be a cloud hanging over their heads.

Just realized I’m comparing losing my brother and not being able to go to the funeral. At the beginning I felt so hurt and guilty for not being able to pay my respects and say a final goodbye. A few years after I found a picture of our last goodbye hug before I left home. It was a blessing. I have registered our last hug to look at anything I miss him. Didn’t hurt to see that picture and now on the contrary I prefer not to have the memory of his funeral. In a strange way I miss him with love instead of hurt as if he is taking a long trip and we will see each other again someday and I don’t mean on a celestial kinda way although I do believe that too. Sorry, I’m humbling. See, I don’t know how to write reviews.

Wow, this was amazing. I have come across your story plenty of times through my time at FanFiction and have unfortunately always avoided it. Because I don’t like reading about characters death. And in this case it is pretty spelled out that Bella has a year to live.

But I have read a lot of stories and most of the good stories, so there isn’t much left. So I took a chance and decided to read Ladder to the Sun. And boy, I’m I happy that I did. Cause this has to be one of the best and heart touching story I have ever read. And I wish it was longer. I really didn’t want it to end.

I think after a while it’s pretty obvious that Bella won’t die. Since her condition isn’t really getting worse, her attack’s are. So after a few chapters I started to think that after a while it will probably be revealed that the doctor either misdiagnosed Bella, the tumor was benign or there was some cure. Cause there was no way in hell that Bella would die. And thank God that was what happened. It was just a misdiagnosis.

And the whole thing about Edward's secret was so unexpected. I honestly thought like everyone else that he was hiding something bad or that he was making something for Bella in the shelter that was some kind of a surprise. But I would never have thought that he was a singer. So good work on that one!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us and hopefully you will keep sharing other stories!

Love,
