Lest I Forget (4)
She did have a point. I loved Lenore and thought she was great. It was more than obvious that she loved Alice and sought her approval, but I could see Al’s point as well. It was more an approval sought by trying to relate to her than by acting like a mom, and I could see how that might be strange. Then again, Alice was never too close to her family anyway. Her brother and sister were so much older than she was that they’d never really connected, and to this day I have no idea whether or not she invited them to the wedding itself. In the end, they showed up, but only for a few minutes. I suspect that it was at Lenore’s urging anyway, but I have no idea. I just know that Alice looked very surprised they were there at all.
The planning stage didn’t last too long; we were both too anxious and agreed that we’d only get moreso the longer we dragged it on. That meant that we were busy from the time our plane touched down until the wedding itself, with basically no downtime. Strangely, with as tired as we both still were from trying to recover, being so busy seemed to work really well for us. I think that had mostly to do with the fact that we didn’t have time to focus on our own issues as much.
That’s not to say that we never thought about them, though. Alice was still going to her psychologist about her post-traumatic stress, and while it seemed to be on the mend with the purging she’d done by writing her book, she still had relapses. I tried to be there for her as much as I was able to be, but it was frustrating since there was really nothing I could do for her aside from assuring her that I was there and that things were going to be all right.
I think that was enough, though. Everyone could see her genuine effort to get past it, and it seemed to be working the great majority of the time. She was making strides in being able to talk to us all about it when she needed to, and having her book published had opened the door to a lot of support groups asking for her help. While she didn’t want to overextended herself with them, she did make contributions, and in the research she was doing she realized she wasn’t the only one to ever feel this way. I think it helped her quite a bit in the end.

I don’t know how you do it, but you just get better and better. Amazing chapter.
Yet again another breath taking chapter. I love Dana and Alice. This is simply amazing
sigh…that was so fucking incredible. I really think that may have been my absolute favorite thing that I’ve ever read of yours. It was just…whatever, there are no words. Sooooo good.
Beautiful! Thank you for another great update! The wedding I wish we could have seen on the show. So Danish that they woke up surprised that the big day was finally upon them. “If you gave her some security, her laptop and good food, she was pretty happy with life.” — I’m the same way! Except it could be mediocre food… I love how you wrote Alice’s reactions to the response to her book. Very “Alice”. And Gemma is a great character. Needless to say, I am looking forward to the next chapter!
I said it to you before, this chapter was sweet and cute. Looking forward to the next chapter when their children will be there…and ofcourse that special device you promised. ;)
that was realy beautiful. the vows were perfect. loved it.
Just re-read it because i was slacking like the nurse and didn’t leave a comment first time. Fabulously happy and beautiful vows :)
Aaaw yay that was so cute. Great chapter :)
Awesome as usual!
MT, I am back and thrilled to be able to read the last 3 chapters all at once. I am touched by the proposal in Ireland. A declining the 1st proposal made a lot of sense. What a great wedding it was. The wedding vows were astounding. It brought tears to my eyes. MT. you are doing a incredibly marvelous job in D talking about their past. I am in awe of how you write A’s responses. This story is truly beautifully written. As sad as A could no longer speak, their ability to communicate proved without a doubt that they were soulmates. Please let A linger a little bit longer. I realize all things must come to an end. But it is just too hard for me personally to accept it. I can’t wait to read more. Thank you very much MT.
fantastic..as usual:)
I saw you had posted and decided to keep it as a reward until I got posted…it was so worth it. Great!
