    Wow1 This chapter was amazing! I have been a doctor for a long time and have to say this is one of the best works I've read on a family coping with a terminal illness. You've really captured the emotions well! Update soon!

    Author's Response: Thanks, I recently had a friend pass away from an illness and so some of what I write here is based upon what her family went through, as well as my own feelings about what it would be like to witness such a thing.

    This was a wonderfully written chapter, I cried though when I read the journal entries. Poor brave Lily and Severus. Harry is so sweet. I hope he has a nice birthday.

    Author's Response: Thank you, those entries were very hard to write.  Harry will have a great birthday.

    wow. You are an amazing and talented writer. I've loved every single one of your stories and I know that this one is closing on its end and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. I love the anksty parts to this fic even though I cry, and Sev is so good to Lilly and Harry. little Harry is so cute as well. I look forward to reading more. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, happy Thanksgiving

    Author's Response:

    Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

    This story is so intense that I cry while I'm writing it.

    In fact, I have to take a break every now and then, and so I've posted a new short fic called Harry Potter Dogsitter, a humorous tale, it'll make you laugh rather than cry, if you want to read it.

    And I've just posted a new update to both of them, by the way.

    Kleenex! Kleenex! I remember when my dad had cancer it was his wish to die in his own bed, so we brought him home from the hospital, knowing he wasn't going to last. It was hard, but you've captured the feelings and the ache and agony that people go through when it does. Thanks for being so forthright in your writing. I know this wasn't easy to write, but it is very poignant.

    Author's Response: Aww, I'm so very sorry for your loss.  My mom's sick with parkinsons and sometimes I wonder how long she has . . .it's very hard watching a loved one slowly getting worse like that.  You feel so helpless.  Thanks for reading and I apologize if I brought up any bad memories.

    I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying this. This is good therapy for me because I took care of my father for the last year of his life and watched him slowly go down hill. He died this past March and I really feel for Severus if he is the one to discover Lily dead. I did my dad and that probably was more traumatic than anything else I went through taking care of him.
    Keep up the good work, I enjoy all your stories and look forward to more.

    Author's Response:

    Oh God, that would be so terrible, and yet I can see it happening.

    I'm sorry for your loss, my mother is sick with Parkinsons and my dad recently recovered from cancer, and I am always afraid that some morning I'll wake up or come home from work and find one of them has passed away . . .it's scary.

    But if you want to be cheered up, read my new fic, Harry Potter Dogsitter, it's a funny fluffy romp with Harry and a mischievous puppy, kind of like Marley if you've read Marley and Me.  That's my therapy from writing this fic, which is so emotionally intense I am exhausted after writing a chapter.

    Omg! Sniff sniff! Need...sniff sniff...more....sniff...sniff....kleenex!

    Oh, if death could be described as beautiful, you have done so my dear! Sniff sniff! Ah darn, you've gone and done it. Now I'm gonna bawl my eyes out, cause I've had a rotten week, and was already feeling down! :(

    You have described the stages of dying very well, for both Sev amd Lily.

    I'm looking forward to your next update.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks, I really wish this fic would end happily, but it can't . . .

    Now I"M crying!

    The next chapter will be a rather bittersweet one, and it's just been posted.  And I've updated Dogsiter as well, so you could read that and hopefully be cheered up.  Thanks for reading and sorry I made you cry.

    It does have some similarites to the feeling of the titanic. I can imagine how hard it is to write. Have you ever considered writing, something origional. You could do it, I think. Like I said books and movies never provoke so much emotion from me as this story does.

    Author's Response:

    I have written several original novels, but none as sad as this one.  I'm currently looking for an agent to publish them.

    I do have one posted on fictioncentral .net under the penname Sevswife, Magician of Asgard, it's a retelling about Loki, Norse god of Mischief. You can check it out if you'd like.
