    Author Notes:

    Tina reads Dana’s letter

     

    Tina lay back on the couch and set her wine glass down beside her.   As she turned the envelope over in her hand she wondered how it had taken so long for her to get around to opening Dana’s letter.  Had her week really been that busy?  Almost as soon as the question formulated in her mind Tina knew that she was trying to make excuses when in truth she had been avoiding it.  The reasons why weren’t quite as simple as that fact.  Reading Angie’s letter with Bette, Tina had felt a strong connection to Dana.  Reading her words on the page had made her voice come to life in Tina’s head.  Since then as she had gone through her week Tina had been reminded of Dana even more than usual.  Even though the athlete was never that far from her thoughts, this week it was like everything she did could be related to her friend.

    As much as she didn’t ever want to forget about Dana, remembering her was always so bitter-sweet that Tina had put off reading this letter in an attempt to defer having to connect with her again so personally and remember the pain she had felt at losing her.  The other issue of course that was causing her to delay opening the package was the whole idea of what Dana might have to say about her and Bette.  Things were hard enough in that arena at the moment for Tina without adding to the mix a feeling of having failed her friend.

    Tina knew though that however difficult it may be to read Dana’s letter it would have been so much harder to have had to write it.  Tina felt a rush of sadness wash over her as she thought of the things that Dana had faced alone not speaking to any of them as far as she was aware of her project.  Tina’s mind wandered for a moment about how she would feel in that situation.  If she was confronting her own mortality in the morning would she have the strength to sit down and write to the people who meant most in her life and tell them all the things that she wanted them to know.  She hoped that she would have the same strength as her brave friend but she doubted it.   She snorted in derision at herself as she realised that if she had to write a letter like that to Bette now she wouldn’t even know where to begin.

    1. Love the little flashback of dana meeting bette and the gang just cracking up. tina was so calm when dana was telling her hot bette was… now that really is security… the letter is such a tear jerker…i’m eagerly waiting for the rest… :) have a good holiday..

    2. This is just heartbreaking. Really sweet of Dana to remember things with everyone, even after she’s gone. Hopefully her letter will make Tina think things over. Life’s too short to be unhappy or to hold grudges. Happy holidays hun.

    3. Wow, wondering! Amazing, heartwarming, heartbreaking, wonderful. Love the flashback (as always). What a funny first meeting. Again, so true to all the characters. Thnak you so much for the great update and Happy Holidays to you!

    5. That was a great chapter, can’t wait for the rest of this story it gives me hope that in the end Bette and Tina will be together. Merry Christmas enjoy you holiday.

    6. I’m a little behind on my commenting, but still reading. I loved the flashback… I could totally see that happening, and really, it just makes me miss Dana all the more. I hope Dana’s letter gives Tina some insight, and helps her see she either needs to learn to forgive and understand, and try again, while she has the chance, or move on. She’s not going to be happy until she does one of those. Thanks for the post, and have a great holiday. Cheers

    7. “If you don’t get that bleeping little bleep to take his bleep out of his bleep by bleeping ten am and make sure the bleeping paintings are hanging on my bleeping walls I’ll take your bleeping bleeps and tie them in bleeping knots around your bleeping ears James.” now I just lold at that one. I’m glad that people like me encourages people like you to continue with your stories. :) i love loved this chapter because I love Tina :D thanks, awesome job

    8. The idea of these letters is just incredible. I don’t know if you’re planning on doing this or not—you seem to have anticipated every other idea I’ve had—but another great way to heal the gang via Dana reaching out from the grave (waterfall?) is to have her 1) ask everyone to pass the letters around to each other, either with everyone gathered together at the last letter opening and/or 2) for Dana to request that everyone write each other similar letters to each other, where, unlike for her, they could actually be there to make the changes in each other’s lives and/or answer face-to-face questions about why and what they might’ve written to each other. Am I making any sense. I might PM you, just incase you don’t come across this comment.
