Valediction (Two/Three)
"As long as you don’t let her eat it," she said with a little laugh. "This is the sweetest thing ever." She kissed my cheek and walked outside. Everybody else group-hugged me and went to sit with her. I just sat down next to Dana’s bed and talked to Angelica the whole time I was waiting for her to wake up, giving her instructions about the ring. She talked back in her little-kid way, which didn’t make much sense, but she was obviously happy so I just talked back to her.
It took Dana awhile to wake up. I think she thought she was still asleep at first; hell, I’d be a little weirded out if I woke up to a room filled with wildflowers. Her eyes adjusted eventually, though. She was groggy, but as she looked over at me with tears in her eyes, I knew she was lucid. "Hi!" Angie told her, completely overjoyed to see her favorite aunt awake after so long. Dana, with her eyes still locked on mine, told her hi back. I took the ring case out and put it in her little hand, then set her on the floor. She scurried over to Dana as fast as her little four-year-old legs would carry her and gave her a little-kid hug. Dana moved her arm and hugged her back weakly. "Here! You get a present! It’s from Alice," she told Dana rather seriously, holding out the ring case.
"Thank you," Dana told her, kissing her head. She took the case and opened it slowly, and as she looked at the ring I could see the tears running down her face.
"Don’t cry, Dana. It’s a pretty ring," Angie informed her, putting her chubby hand on Dana’s face. Dana laughed through her tears.
"You’re right, it’s very pretty. It’s beautiful," she murmured, still looking at me.
"Alice says you should wear a wedding dress with her and get married to each other," Angie continued, her face a study in concentration. Dana just kissed her again and looked back at me.
"Really?" she asked.
"Well, not in those exact words, but close enough. Good job, kid," I told Angie, giving her a high five as she walked back over and hugged me.

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.
I totally can’t comment on how amazing that was so I’m not gonna even try.xx
