I always knew who she was, though. Even if I couldn’t make my eyes recognize her face, the second she started talking to me I calmed down. I knew her voice even if I didn’t always know what she was saying. The confusion would clear after a little bit, and I was always so fucking thankful for it. As lost and confused as I sometimes was, I never lost it completely, and I think that’s a definite blessing.
The pain was unbearable. Alice would take a hit off a blunt and kiss me, making me swallow the smoke. It helped, but not enough. Eventually I got a morphine drip, but it didn’t take it all away. I won’t get too much into this, since it’s not something I can really describe. Suffice it to say that I was in agony. If it hadn’t been for Alice, I would have just found some way to end it and be done with the pain.
I spent most of my time in our bed, but Alice had set up a little gurney thing in the living room, next to the couch. Most nights she’d wheel me in there, and would talk to me constantly. Not about anything specific; she’d just chatter at me about movies or the latest celebrity gossip or would sit there making fun of TV shows or something. It was fine with me. It was one of the only ways we could have fun. I didn’t talk much due to weakness and exhaustion, but she could always make me laugh.
I asked her to make sure she told Angelica about me, because I was pretty sure she wasn’t old enough to have registered me to memory. Alice just laughed and said she’d go one better: she’d show her all the tapes she’d made of me playing tennis. It took a lot of energy, but I kissed her for it. That’s still probably the most romantic thing I can think of, Alice taping every single televised match I played. I told her that, and like the angel she is, she just laughed and said it was nothing. I was overwhelmed by how beautiful she was as I said, "I’m sorry to be hurting you. I’m sorry to be leaving." And there it was. She broke into tears, but she wasn’t devastated. She knew, and as she held me tight all she said was that I had not one damn thing to be sorry for. And that was it. It was out there and we’d both acknowledged it; I was really dying.

Wow I had to choke back tears and swallow a lump in ym throat more than a few times. I never cry at fanfics but this one almost got me. Perfect MT just fucking perfect. xx Oh and get better soon hun :)
perfect, very sad.. but perfect. Thank you.
*blows nose and puts tissue away* I was dreading the end of this story. This story was amazingly beautiful but SO sad. I’m looking forward to an update of your ‘happy’ story “You” (especially to that certain something coming :P).
Wow, what a beautifully written piece, expertly catching the emotions inlcuding sadness, love and, yes, happiness of these two wonderful people. You are definitely a wonderful writer and I hope you are feeling much better and can continue with YOU very soon. Thank you
okay – i can barely see what i writing due to the tears that are in my eyes. that was really beautiful. definitely your best writing so far. please give us something happy now. that was devestating. great job.
This story should come with a warning label like ‘May Cause Dehydration’ – it was exquisitely written. I miss Dana.
amazing as per usual. feel better so you can get back to writing a happier version of this in “You”.
Perfect. The way it should have been to begin with.
Very sad, but better than the show by a lot, more settled and peaceful and loving
you had me in tears these two last chapters :'( great story!
*gul* This was breathtakingly beautiful. I choked up more then once. You made me cry. *sigh* It was very moving, so much better and so much more human then the stuff we got to see on tv. I liked it. But I’m glad to see the newest part of “you” soon.
I know you had to do it and you did it perfectly. You are such a gifted writer even when I am not thrilled with the subject. You helped fill the void IC left.
Simply beautiful!WOW…I have a lump in my throat and holding back tears!!!You are truly gifted!!!
That was just beautiful. I was crying at the end if only the show could have done such a great job.
Best fanfic ever. What more can I say. You are incredibly talented
thank you for this story. i can’t think of a more fitting ending to dana’s cancer story. you’re truly gifted and i sincerely hope you’ll continue to write danish fanfics.
I so inspired by the beauty in how you wrote this. It gripped my heart and stayed with me. I read it yesterday, cried my tears but still it’s with me. Thank you for sharing your talent. I am so touched.
Ok I hardly even comment fanfics but how could I not on this one? I am literally in tears. I never cry from stories or movies. If you think of the saddest movie ever, I guarantee I could watch it and not one tear would form. Yet, these last two chapters have kept me crying. This fic was absolutely amazing. You’re amazing! Blew IC out of the water! They should take lessons from you. Can’t wait for an update on “You”.
Picturing the scene: You’re reading a book, or watching a movie, and you just have to call it off because you’re so into it that you find it almost painful to keep on doing it. So you decide to just quit. You press the pause bottom. You put the book in the freezer. Well, this has happened to me twice: the first one was a movie by Isabel Coixet; the second one ,Valediction. A couple of months ago I quit reading it at some point of the second chapter. I knew it was just fiction, but it felt so real… I just couldn’t make it. (I know, I know… Too corny!) But yesterday I did. I read all of it, and well, you got me speechless (you know… my English skills are so limited!! :p) Today I’ve bound it!! I handmade a little book (I love arts & crafts!). But unlike Alice with Dana’s letters, I think I won’t be able to read it again… I promise I won’t put it in the freezer, though!
