Up in the heavens, they watch as we love and grow... She was very dear to you, I can feel it. God bless. Xx

That was really beautiful, sweetheart. Thank you.

The story is poignant and moving, Sam. About your friend, you have my prayers and hugs. I know from your writing that you have a deep and loving faith, and that you know she's not really gone. Not ever. Take heart, and keep writing. You, too, are cared for and much loved.

That was so beautiful, and so incredibly touching. I am so sorry for your loss. She was an awesome writer and will be missed by everyone.

A touching and poignant little piece, as only you can do.

So sorry too, to hear about Lissysue.

I am touched by this story and so, so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers x

sorry about lissy :-( my grandad passed away recently so I know how you feel. Who'd you kill off? (It better not be John, bless him...*hugs John* :- )

Aww that was beautiful and so well written. I know that Lissy would have been very touched by that as will her family in time too. It was a beautiful way to remember such a wonderful person.

It's at times like these that I realize just what a close knit group this category is. I have read some of lissysue's stories and I know she will be greatly missed- as an author and as a personal friend to you. You've done a wonderful job with this piece and I have to congratulate you on having the courage to write and post something this close to your heart. It takes a lot of nerve to put yourself out there like this, and I admire you all the more for it.

As cc so aptly said, "You have my love and prayers at this time."

Such a sad story. mad all the more so by your author's note at the end. I will truly miss Lissysue and her awesome stories. What a wonderful tribute you wrote and I'm sure she would have loved it.

You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your 'sister' because that's what best friends truly are to us!

First off, I am so sorry about your "little sister". You have my love and prayers at this time.

Secondly, that was so sad! I kinda liked how you can't be sure which siblings it was. I am guessing Alan died, then again it could be John. I would wager Alan because of the speed of a shooting star. Then again, Johnstar. As for the "older" brother, if it was John, it has to be Scott. But if it was Alan that opens anyone. I tend to lean towards John, simply because he loves the stars and several of us have implied that John shared that love with Alan so he may have been looking to the stars for comfort in his grief.

Again, my sympathy and kudos all at once.

That was a very touching tribute to your friend. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope you'll find comfort in happy memories of times you shared with lissy.

A beautiful dedication to a wonderful author on this site, Sam. Lissy will be missed by many, too.

What a sad but sweet farewell, to both the Tracy brother lost (and how sweet you left ambiguous so fans of all the brothers can related to this) and to your dear friend and writing partner. Thank you for sharing this!
