    Author Notes:

    When I am strong you are my weakness, when I am weak you are my strength… (Part 3 of 4)

     

    “T…” I quietly said.

     

    She looked at me with those adoring eyes, and I smiled, a smile which I knew she would know was full of hope, I pointed then, to that bright shining star, I saw her looking, and she smiled, she also knew.

     

    She looked back at me, with a smile that lit her face and she said the words that had passed through my mind, “he’s looking down on us…”

     

    “He sure is…” I glanced at her with tears in my eyes, I looked back at the star and quietly whispered, knowing he would hear me, “happy birthday Son…” the tears made a slow descent over my cheeks, I had no inclination to wipe them away, they were cleansing tears, letting go tears, new beginning tears, the tears that brought life back into my soul.

     

    I looked at Tina’s face as she watched me in silence, so many things said between us over the years had no words to them, we silently communicated, and we did so now, we smiled at one another and turned, and hand in hand, we made our way back.

     

    When I got back home that night I sat at the table and I wrote the words that were swirling around in my head, they came easily, I was inspired.

     

    My son inspired me.

     

    She inspired me.

     

    The beach inspired me.

     

     

    Has the sea brought us together,

    Is it only for today….?

    Will you take me in your arms for now,

    Just to go away?

     

    Is the loved that we shared,

    Stronger than the pain,

    Can it erase the loneliness,

    When teardrops fell like rain?

     

    As I stand before you,

    And gaze upon your face

    I wonder of a new beginning,

    One with dignity and grace.

     

    I hear you whisper softly,

    Of a love that never dies,

    And I see in you forever…

    In your adoring eyes.

     

     

    I read the words back to myself and I smile, I look up then, into her eyes, the eyes that had been watching me, watching since we got back from the beach, those adoring eyes.

     

    I pass the piece of paper to her; this was about her, about us…

     

    I watch her as she reads my words, the words I had poured from my heart onto the paper show now held, as her adoring eyes took in each line I saw the tears well.

     

    She looked at me then and I knew, as she did, that is what we had all along, we both got lost, we both felt incomplete, but we had a love that never dies, and we still did, the embers of our love were still burning, they just needed to be tended and cared for, with gentleness and compassion, and we would do it. 

     

    Together, forever.

    1. You made me cry… My heart wrenched and I have never read anything that even comes close to this beauty… You are a genius, Jo! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible gift with us!

    2. Jo, that was SO incredibly beautiful. Heart-wrenching in places, but overall just wonderful. Completely made my day. Glad you wrote more than the initial post. Just…. gah…. so fabulous.

    3. I’m with Anngie, you transport us there, witnessing & feeling what these two are going through. Jo, words don’t always describe the emotions you ignite in us readers but please continue to make me laugh, make me cry & every thing in between!

    5. This was a very emtional but awe-inspiring chapter. It shows just how true love can over come any circumstance that lays itself in the way of migrating down the road of life. Love is fragile and yet strong at the same time. It takes work and time to rest to be efficent with all that is thrown it’s way. The three chapters of this story are an example of how most of us see Bette and Tina. Thank you for putting all this into words for us to see and feel.

    8. This fic is simply the best fic i’ve ever read. I just can’t get over it. Job..your sincerely truly talented. The poem, that beautifully written poem was so moving. Words that bette, has been waiting so long to say to Tina. And finally,she’s getting it off her chest.This is the B&T i love. They break your heart, and witht his stroy i feel their pain.But there’s always hope. Their son is watching over them,waiting for their reunion as well. Post soon Job.This fic is Outstanding.

    9. God, another wonder ! This is just beautiful, Jobadge. I think I don’t even want to find other words to describe this fine work… I wouldn’t find enough superlatives anyway… One thing though is really worrying me, it seems like The end of the story, like B&T went full circle. Please tell me I’m wrong and this is not the last chapter of your story Jobadge ! … Pleeeeease… You wouldn’t do this to us anyway, would you ?

    13. *sniff, sniff BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW* I think you made all of your readers create a tissue shortage in the world. We’re now forced to resort to crappy 1-ply public restroom toilet paper. I’m definitely glad I waited till I was away from the office to read this. So many people have commented so I can’t really add anything no one has thought to mention. “We caught each other.” And that’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown. Well, maybe not Christmas, but definitely love.

    14. I have to say I have been reading many stories for a while & I haven’t left but maybe a couple of comment. But this story is excellent & I can say that i have never had tears in my eyes until i read this story. TLW could use a writer like you. If only they could film what the viewers really want to see. thanks for such a wonderful story.I can tell you are a very caring,beautiful person by the way you write.

    18. Damn this is beautiful and excellent. This is emotional and you made me cry my friend and love this story and you are amazing, thanks for a awesome chapter and please post soon, thanks!

    25. Thats was a really really beauitful chapter….very emotional…and impossible to read without a lump in your throat….Exquisite writing!…Thankyou, can always depend on your chapters to be full of genuine meaning and depth!…and always the very best!

    26. Hey sweetie – damn you did it again, my eyes are red and swollen :o)) OMG (I had to say it LOL)….this is as beautiful, emotional and heart wrenching as only you can do it….you’re the fanfic queen!!!! Thanks for talking me into reading this story and for sharing the journey with us. I’m so glad you, Em and JT have found eachother, your guys are the sweetest little family :o))

    28. An other so beautiful piece of sensitivity, a rainbow-effect work of pure emotions – between tears and smiles… This story simply melts me, deep in my heart. And two sentences here particularly touched me. The first – “When I am strong you are my weakness, when I am weak you are my strength…” – for its tender beauty. And the second one – “I’d been finding it hard to express myself, express the pain I was feeling, the emotions I was feeling (…), and when I began to write, they wouldn’t stop, it was refreshing, it was cleansing, it allowed me to unload so many things that were inside of me.” – for the so deep resonance it evokes in me, on an acurately personal point of view… I was there too (far all these last months) and, yes, writing was also my salvation – my only one. — Many thanks for this story of yours, you’re really talented. Do I need to add I’m totally hooked on it ? I don’t think so, it’s obvious enough ! ^_^

    33. Wow Jo this was so complete in your thought and emotion. I sit here this morning trying to put together another chapter to post and I take a break to read your chapter. It leaves me in awe .. red eyes and foggy mind. I don’t know how to move forward I just love this whole group of chapters every since you gave me that sneek peak. This was amazingly beautiful. Thanks is all I can say

    34. Hiya Jo, Great to have another fabulous post from you. It is such a real pleasure to read and follow the gals on this road back to each other. It is fraught with dangers and misteps but their determination and belief in one another is paramount to their success. I feel liek I’m in an emotional whirlpool that tries to pool me under with one twist and then bouys me up with the next. This maelstrom of sensations and consciousness is such a genuine thrill and roller coaster ride. It is down to your marvellous talent and genius that every word drawns the reader yet farther into the story. Words are such an inadequate means for proffering my gratitude and appreciation. So a simple tahnk you is all I have but please realize the emotional weight and importance of these two words. Please continue this magnificent masterpiece. Your Loyal Fan. PS – And running it concurrently with the lightness and humor of “Situations” only further cements your narrative dexterity.

    39. The simultaneous strength/weakness involved in loving is precisely why it is so meaningful and has the potential to be so painful. Nicely explored and very satisfying that they are together again. You are going to follow that up, aren’t you? Now, with your “Situations” series, I think it is high time to stop teasing us and give us one of your blazing NC-17s.

    40. I forgot to say something to you, Jo…The great thing about your story is something that IC forget completely… People made mistakes, got lost,got mad,people cry, shout, fight, but, they TALK! I mean people try to solve the problems…They clear things up… And this is good. And this is much more “us”…(sure,I´m generalizing, but I prefer to thing that we can clarify thing instead of been fighting all the time…) and , in your case, i s also beautifully written… MORE! MORE! MORE!Thanks!

    41. tha was poignant, kind, ever so gracious as bette always is, and sweet, especially sweet, YOU BROUGHT THEM TO LIFE, I CAN SEE THEM EVEN NOW WALKING ON THAT BEACH WITH SAD WISTFUL MEMORIES FOR THEIR PAST AND WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IF THEIR SON LIVED and i think that tragedy was like the titanic for them, their grief had to run its course; now its over, great one PPS…sorry about capitals, i’m not shouting at you, a mistake i’m too tired to fix.

    44. Beautiful, simply beautiful! Is this the end of this piece? I hope not, but I certainly look forward to you resuming the remembrances and seeing your “Situations”! Girl, you’ve got such range! Once again, thanks for sharing your beautiful gift with us!
