"Come on, we’ll go help you pick them," Shane said. Tina went to ask one of the nurses if my idea was all right. The lady just started crying and said it was perfect.
The five of us took the Jeep, and Jenny drove. The whole way to the field, I was holding the ring. It was a sapphire, blue with hints of green when the light caught it. I had almost bought a diamond, but this ring reminded me of her eyes…if her eyes were sparkly. They were sometimes, I guess. I’d bought it weeks ago, but I hadn’t asked then because she’d been so damn sick and would have yelled at me for being insane. I think at first, everyone thought I was going to ask her on a whim, but I wasn’t. It had been in my head for years.
After we’d picked all the flowers that could fit in the Jeep, I wasn’t satisfied. I wanted the room completely covered. Bette stayed with me while Shane, Jenny and Tina went back to the hospital, coming back with the Mini and the Saab along with the Jeep. It took us all afternoon, but we filled all three cars and headed back. Angie had a great time helping us all cover the room in them. Dana was asleep the whole time. Eventually, although I’m sure they knew what I was going to do, I asked Sharon and Irwin if I could marry their daughter. Sharon laughed through her tears and said she’d been wondering when I’d finally get around to it. We all kind of stood in a circle and cried, and it was okay. I hadn’t thought it would be, but in some strange way, it was. We could be sad without letting her know. It made sense; when she was awake, we were just happy to be with her. Nobody was sad then, and it was good. We didn’t entirely understand it, but it was good.
Everybody wanted to stay, and I’d have let them…really, I would have. I wanted them there, but Jenny said that wasn’t a good idea. She declared it wasn’t romantic enough, and that my covering the room with flowers was far too romantic to have everybody crowding the place up when I asked. As weird as I think Jenny is, she was right. The only person that ended up staying was Angie. Bette and Tina tried to carry her out of the room since she’d missed her nap and was cranky and tired, but she cried and reached for Dana. It almost made me lose it, and I got an idea as I took her out of Tina’s arms and held her. "I think I’ll let Angie give her the ring," I whispered as the poor kid stopped crying when she realized she wasn’t being taken from away from Dana. Bette just smiled.

I wanted to stay in my happy place and I was really reluctant to read this story. The fact that it was written by you, persuaded me and I’m glad I did. Even though I am crying my eyes out right now, I’m happy to know thatDana spends her last days with the love of her life and is surrounded by her friends. The story captivated me so much that, after reading it, I realized my music player had been playing Akon with I wanna f*ck you on repeat (don’t ask me why). So I’ve been listening to the most unromatic song while reading your immensly moving story! Weird huh?! Anyways, looking forward to the wedding chapter (and looking less forward to the part where we have to say goodbye to Dana).
I cant express how amazing I thought that was, you’ve got me crying my eyes out. Your writing just blows me away. If I’m crying now I’m gonna be so much worse next chapter but I know its gonna be incredible. You are so unbelievably talented x
hey, I just caught up with this. What can I say? This is one strong piece. I’m kinda speechless. Like some other readers here I was getting choked up while reading some parts. The proposal for example and so many more. I’m glad you decided this to be 3 parts, cause seriously, I couldn’t take more of it, since I know what’s going to happen. AND I’m glad you decided to not put this storyline into your other story. Cause that’s my happy one. And you better be updating that fast, lol.;)Great work.
Fantastic piece of work – so sad, yet so happy, looking forward to more very soon.
i don’t think i’ve commented on any story in months but after reading that chapter i couldn’t NOT comment! you literally had me choking on that lump you get at the back of your throat when you’re fighting off tears. i did managed to hold off the tears until the part about alice and the group going to pick fresh flowers. that’s when i completely lost it! you’ve written your version of dana’s cancer story so beautifully. this story it really gives “bittersweet” a whole new meaning. thank you for giving us danish lovers something so precious. i can’t wait to read the final chapter
Wow!I can’t stop crying I can’t wait till they get married
OMG I’ve not cried so much in a long long time…It’s a sad story butits done in such a great way…..I need to get the hankies out for the next chapter I think! PPS
WOW…Okay I’m totally tearing up at work, but at least I am watching The View in the background which is making me laugh…WOW WOW WOW…this is so beautiful! (BTW I do love my job, just a rough time in the industry). Your writing is amazing! Just simply amazing! I have a feeling when the final chapter comes I will need at least a bottle of wine and a box of tissues.
Beautifully sad. Simple as. You have a gift for writing that stirs up emotions I didn’t think were possbile while reading a fictional story. :)
Beautiful as always.
